All are nominees this year. Price is vying for artist of the year, album of the year and song of the year. Russell is up for artist of the year and song of the year. Raitt is competing for song of the year for “Just Like That,” for which she won a Grammy for song of the year in March. The War and Treaty is up for duo/group of the year, which they won last year.

Other nominees who are set to perform on the show include Angel Olsen, Brandi Carlile, Hermanos Gutiérrez, Nickel Creek, Adeem the Artist, Sunny War and William Prince. The latter three artists are nominated for best emerging act.

The Avett Brothers, Bettye LaVette, Patty Griffin and Nickel Creek, all of whom are set to receive honorary awards on the show, will also perform. (The fifth recipient of an honorary award this year is George Fontaine Sr., co-founder and owner of New West Records.)
