In addition to Prine being recognized at the Libera Awards, punk rocker Alejandro Escovedo will also perform and receive the independent icon award.
“The 2020 Libera Awards serve as a dual celebration for A2IM: one that applauds the extraordinary talent of so many artists, labels, and independent champions, as well as the commemoration of 15 years of A2IM and all that our board, our members, our team, and my predecessors have worked to accomplish,” said A2IM CEO Richard James Burgess in a statement. “We are proud of the increased visibility of independent music in the global market and are energized and excited to dive into the next fifteen years of events, advocacy, and work in this remarkable community.”
Tickets for the 2020 Libera Awards will go on sale Jan. 13. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit liberaawards.stayindie.net.
