Alanis Morissette to Be Inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame

As originally published by Megan LaPierre on Exclaim!

Amid the so-called chaos, here's some good news: the venerable Alanis Morissette is the latest homegrown legend to be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (CSHF).

The Ottawa-raised singer-songwriter will join 2020's previously announced honourees Jim Vallance and Bryan Adams at the first in-person gala the non-profit has held since 2017, taking place September 24 at Toronto's Massey Hall.

"Some albums define a generation, but few albums can transform a generation as Jagged Little Pill did," SHF Chairman Stan Meissner said in a release. "Alanis is a tour de force who blazed her own trail amongst the male-dominated alternative rock landscape of the '90s; and her intrepid approach to songwriting has influenced and empowered an entire generation of songwriters, including Avril Lavigne, P!nk, Katy Perry, Serena Ryder, Beyoncé and Olivia Rodrigo, to name a few."

Morissette is also scheduled to perform at the induction ceremony, alongside some inductee tributes from Charlotte Cardin, Jessie Reyez and Serena Ryder.

Tickets to attend the gala go on sale Friday (May 27) at 10 a.m. ET via the Massey Hall website.

Previous Hall of Fame inductees include Rush, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young, among many others.

The CanCon icon is gearing up to release a meditation album with Darkside's Dave Harrington ahead of embarking on a long-awaited Canadian Jagged Little Pill anniversary tour this summer.
