2018 SPBGMA NOMINATIONS FOR #TEAMWPP

It's been a whirlwind week in the holler at #teamWPP headquarters with a bunch of exciting things happening all on the verge of a beautiful Christmas and New Year. It frankly left me speechless and in a great reflection of the gifts we have all been blessed with in this tremendous family of bluegrass music, friends, and family. 

I could not be more proud of the bands and band members that have a legion of fans and peers that follow and respect their music and performances so much to write them in for nominations in their categories and I wish them, and all nominees, the best of luck.

Furthermore, I want to thank everyone that also wrote in my name and participated in the very surprising nomination for me as Promoter of the Year. I am still in shock and it was a very emotional moment for me to even process being on any list with the names in that category. These people that I hold such a great deal of respect for in the way they direct their events, run their businesses and care for their relationships with other people like me, or the artists that come play their hearts out for them. I am truly honored that you, my peers, my friends, my bluegrass family, would all consider me in this league of specialists in their field, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Best of luck to all of the nominees!!! 

Bluegrass Promoter of the Year: 

Norman Adams 
Bob Auth 
Ryan Frankhouser 
DA Callaway 
Melanie Wilson (Wilson Pickins Promotions) 
Sammy Karr 

I have built the agency based on a team model, where everyone involved sees the benefit in working together to lift each other up, in an effort to succeed, We are all a great resource to one another in some form or another, at one time or another. I never want to lose sight of "the sum" that makes up all of our parts, or forget where or who we came from. I have an incredible team of musicians, industry professionals and just friends and family, bluegrass and otherwise, that keep me going on a daily basis. For that I could not be more grateful and I thank God for leading me on this journey with all of you.
