According to the UPI, Emmylou Harris was presented with an honorary doctor of music at a bluegrass festival in San Francisco by the Berklee College of Music yesterday.

Berklee President Roger Brown made the presentation, along with Emmylou’s longtime friend Linda Ronstadt and bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs — both Berklee honorary doctorate recipients.

“Not only is Emmylou Harris a consummate musician, an inspired songwriter and a singer with a crystalline voice, she has also been a friend, mentor, collaborator and supporter of many wonderful musicians throughout her career,” Brown said in a statement. “She has a magnificent artistic vision and a magnificently generous spirit as well.”
