The 9513’s 1st Annual Country Music Awards list Eleven Hundred Springs as a Nominee for Country Artist of the Year, Texas Artist of the Year, Group of the Year and Best Album Cover of the Year.

Between the CMAs, the ACMs, the Americana Music Association Awards, the International Bluegrass Music Association awards and the Folk Alliance Awards, there’s a lot of hardware being handed out to honor the best music from across the spectrum of musical styles which makes up what we here at The 9513 call country.

But none of the above bring all of those various styles together, under one big “country music” tent where they belong. That’s where we come in.

The CMAs and the ACMs are radio-based awards that honor only mainstream country, while the others exclude quality mainstream music and even quality traditional and neotraditional country.

We cover country music in all of its forms, so it only makes sense that we’ve designed awards that allow the best music from all corners of country to be honored side by side.  For the complete article, click here.
