I would like to take some time out now to share some of my own memories of my past Ameripolitan Awards adventures, and I have quite a few of them. One time I got to sing Amazing Grace in an uber with the Reeves Brothers, as we went from Bealle Street to our hotel ( turns out we had the same hotel that year). That was the same year we got to see Mr. James Hand perform and so many other of these wonderful people that have passed away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ameripolitan Awards is a truly mirific experience that every avid music fan needs to get to attend at least once in their music loving life, and every fan should make it a point to attend. The entire awards program provides so much support to the Legends of Country Music, and remembers many of the overlooked Legends not touched upon by the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, at this time all of the voting is now closed and the nominees have all been chosen, so now all we need to do is sit back and enjoy the upcoming festivities. And please don’t forget to support all of the wonderful bands and artists on this extensive roster of talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of these people are my own personal friends from past festivals and local shows all across the Country, from so many years of doing this website, and I can personally guarantee that all of these people together in one music function is a special opportunity. I urge all of you to buy your tickets now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
