WHOO-HOO!!!! Eli Young Band comes out on top at the 2013 Texas Regional Music Awards. No surprise there, though! This band has been ‘rockin’ it, so to speak, even on the Nashville music level. Blake and I are so excited for all of this year’s winners! Catch the list inside!

Texas Country is comin’ up, there’s no denying it! Pretty soon, I’m calling it now, big Nashville artists will be taking their inspiration from Texas Country artists!

The third annual Texas Regional Radio Music Awards were held at the Arlington Music Hall earlier this week. Being an annual event, you know I was telling the truth when I said Texas Country is the next big thing- It’s a new genre of music that has its own awards shows!

Check out a list of some of the performing winners:
