LOS ANGELES  (ASCAP) - The ASCAP Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in the field of Folk Music will be presented to Canada's Kate & Anna McGarrigle at Strictly Mundial, the 17th Annual International Folk Alliance Conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Montreal on Thursday, February 24. On hand to pay musical tribute and present the award to the singing and songwriting sisters will be their longtime friend and admirer, Emmylou Harris. The performance will be a co-presentation of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) and SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada). Previous recipients of The ASCAP Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in Folk Music have been Dave Van Ronk, Eric von Schmidt and Tom Paxton.

For thirty years, the songs and recordings of Kate and Anna McGarrigle, in both English and French, have been enjoyed by devoted fans around the world. Among the artists who have recorded their songs are Linda Ronstadt, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris, Maria Muldaur and Nana Mouskouri. Some of their best-known titles are: "Heart Like a Wheel," "Goin' Back to Harlan," "Complainte pour Ste. Catherine," "Love Over and Over," "Heartbeats Accelerating," "Talk to Me of Mendocino" and "On My Way to Town."

Kate and Anna were born in Montreal and brought up in Saint-Sauveur-des-Monts, Qu�bec in the Laurentian Mountains. They emerged as popular folk performers in Montreal in the 1970s and, after Maria Muldaur and Linda Ronstadt began recording their songs, Kate and Anna issued their own landmark debut in 1976, Kate & Anna McGarrigle. There have been numerous critically acclaimed albums since then, including Matapedia (1996), The McGarrigle Hour (1998) and Vache Qui Pleure (2003). In recent years, the children of Kate (Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright) and Anna (Lily Lanken) have become celebrated singer-songwriters in their own right.

The McGarrigle tribute at the Folk Alliance Conference will be followed by a special performance showcase called ASCAP Presents... Quiet on the Set. The showcase will feature up-and-coming and veteran performers. This year's lineup is: Peter Mulvey, Anais Mitchell, Sid Selvidge, Clare Burson, Lori McKenna, and Bianca DeLeon.
