Three country music up-and-comers who are riding high on the ACM Award hog! | Music City Minute
Goodness, gracious this year is flying by! It is wild to think that the ACM Awards are right around the corner; and while we are still about a week away, several early wins were recently revealed. First up is Avery Anna, who was surprised on stage by family and bestie Sam Barber, with the ACM New Female Artist of the Year award. Next Tucker Wetmore was mid concert in London when Thomas Rhett crashed his set and announced he was the New Male Artist of the Year.
Wetmore’s emotional response was captured by fans, where he admits he was at a “Loss for words.” Finally, Stephen Wilson Junior is the latest recipient of a cowboy hat shaped trophy, when his official music video for Cuckoo (which co-directed by the way) won Best Visual Media of the Year. For the full list of winners, be sure to check out the 61st annual Academy of Country Music Awards, hosted by Shania Twain, which will stream live on Prime Video from Las Vegas, Sunday, May 17.
