STOUGHTON, MA — Stoughton's favorite songwriter has a chance to add more trophies to her collection, and this time it's for her her own song and album.

Lori McKenna earned four Grammy nominations last week. Humble and Kind, performed by Tim McGraw and written by her, was nominated for Best Country Song. That was the only nomination in the Country category for McKenna, who has one more in the American Roots category and two in Americana.

Her song Wreck You was nominated for Best American Roots Performance and Best Americana Song and her album the Bird and the Rifle was nominated for Best Americana Album.
