 "2021 TOP OF TEXAS Award"

This award is proudly presented to Johnny Rodriguez for his outstanding music career, and his life of breaking through barriers, working tirelessly for his fans and friends, never giving up, and staying the course when it seemed impossible. It is indeed a "full circle" time in his life doing what he loves and doing what he does best, as exemplified in his new recording and in his autobiographical book to be available soon.
