Tickets remain available for the premiere screening of The Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music at Monmouth University's filmed version of its 2024 American Music Honors ceremony. The ceremony took place last April in Monmouth University's Pollak Theatre. This year's honorees were Jackson Browne, Dion, John Mellencamp, and Mavis Staples. The honorees' inductions were presented by Jon Landau (inducting Browne,) Darlene Love (inducting Staples,) Bruce Springsteen (inducting Mellencamp,) and Stevie Van Zandt (inducting Dion.) The evening also featured musical performances from all of the honorees and inducting musicians, backed by Little Steven's Disciples of Soul serving as the house band.
