Sarah McLachlan, Tom Cochrane and two members of Blue Rodeo are among the latest inductees into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Organizers announced Tuesday the musical creators will be toasted during an induction ceremony at Toronto鈥檚 Massey Hall on Sept. 28, with presenters and performers still to be announced.

McLachlan is known for penning her biggest hit 鈥淎ngel鈥 and co-writing 鈥淚 Will Remember You,鈥 while Cochrane wrote his rollicking classic 鈥淟ife is a Highway,鈥 which found a second life in the hands of Nashville act Rascal Flatts.

Blue Rodeo鈥檚 Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, who share songwriting duties in their country-rock act, will be honoured together while Quebec singer Diane Tell rounds out the names being recognized.

Cuddy and Keelor were the masterminds of Blue Rodeo favourites that include 鈥淭ry鈥 and 鈥淟ost Together,鈥 while Tell wrote the controversial 1981 French-Canadian classic 鈥淪i j鈥檈tais un homme,鈥 which translates as 鈥淚f I Were a Man.鈥

Tickets for the show will go on sale to the public Friday through Ticketmaster.

The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame selects new inductees every two years. Its most recent round of names included Alanis Morissette, Bryan Adams and David Foster.
