ASCAP College Vanguard Award Honoring Joseph Arthur

In recognition of the impact of new and developing musical genres which help shape the future of American music and which gain early popularity on college radio, ASCAP is proud to present the 2006 ASCAP College Vanguard Award to Joseph Arthur. This award is also presented to Joseph Arthur in appreciation of his compelling song, "In the Sun," and his generous contributions to the Hurricane Katrina Relief effort.

Past ASCAP College Vanguard honorees have included The Arcade Fire, Beck, Modest Mouse, The Strokes, Built to Spill, The Mars Volta and Jack Johnson.

ASCAP is the pioneer in college radio among U.S. performing rights societies. Beginning in 1979, we were the first society to license, survey and make payments on college radio performances.
