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.



My artist friends, you are about to discover a digital platform designed by a  company who puts you, the artist, FIRST.  We will  be updating you periodically between now and the Awards Show about all of the perfectly designed tools at your disposal. Also, the Awrds Show will be filmed and streamed LIVE this year by the wonderful team of PickleJar!!!
