“This is the first time I’ve ever been up for the Americana Honors and Awards. I went to the awards last year with Brandi and The Twins. Any accolade that Brandi gets is more than deserving. I’m so proud of her. And I’m really excited about being up for these awards myself. I could never imagine all these things happening with this album. I’m so very thankful to The Americana Music Association and the FANS!”
