This year's Awards Show is going to be a first on many fronts! For starters, we will be celebrating the OFFICIAL MUSIC OF TEXAS - WESTERN SWING

with a lineup of 2023 Award Recipients to include new talent performing this treasured music. 

 

On Tuesday evening, 10/18, a reception at the theatre will include a viewing of the award winning movie,

"The Birth and History of Western Swing"

from Executive Producer Mike Markwardt. A showcase performance by Steve Markwardt with his band will also be included.

  IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Kin Faux

 

This  band of ultra talented artists has at their center, Rico Gonzales, who is a monster talent in other wordly ways!!! To see them perform is an experience way past the extraordinary. Radio loves them too, helping them chart their original tunes, one written by Bernie Nelson, "Plainview." The CMA of Texas is so very excited to honor this band with

BAND OF THE YEAR.
