Hi, friends. It’s that time of year.Midwest Country Music Organizationest Country Music Organization Awards.
Please consider nominating me for the following if you feel the vibes:
*Entertainer of the Year
*Male Vocalist of the Year
*”More” for Song of the Year
*Jon Muessigmann for Live Sound Engineer of the Year
Side Notes:
I’ve been at this a long time. 12 years of my life has gone to the highway. We pounded the pavement once again and played a full slate of shows for countless friends, and made a boat load of new ones along the way. People sang along to my songs, and I was constantly humbled.
*”More” for Song of the Year - (s/o to my boys Tyler Hammond and Pat Pollifrone for writing this absolute BANGER with me)
*MY DAD, Jon Muessigmann, FOR LIVE SOUND ENGINEER OF THE YEAR - THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE FOR ME. He works SO hard, and would never ask for anyone to do this, so I am. He’s the best.
Anyways, thank you all. Please nominate and share, and support your people. Even if it’s someone else, your voice should be heard. There are a LOT of talented artists here in the Midwest! God bless, and much love, friends. 🤘🏻🔥❤️
