Scott Southworth starts 2019 with major announcements & top honours

Scott Southworth's name appears in the top five nominees in two categories for this year's Academy of Western Artists Awards. It is just part of an amazing kick-off for the new year. The distinguished honors continue the 2018 success of Southworth's "HEY HILLBILLY SINGER!" album which is up for Pure Country Album, while Southworth is in the running for Pure Country Male.

The singer/songwriter shares, "To make the finals for these awards that are solely voted on by DJs around the world makes this a very special honor! I am a fan of my fellow nominees so this truly is an honor to be included among them!"

These announcements come on the heels of another notable accolade. In the current issue of Country Music People Magazine, Scott Southworth made the Editor's Pick of the Year list as the pick for Indie Songwriter of the Year. 

"Indie Songwriter of the Year: "Utterly flabbergasted! I am first and foremost a songwriter so to be recognized in this manner by CMP means more to me than I can ever explain," states Southworth.

Meanwhile, Scott Southworth's calendar is filling up for 2019 with some impressive appearances. This includes another trip overseas to Barcelona. Southworth will be a headlining performer on the Festival International de Country Music de Santa Susanna (Facebook).

The six-day festival runs October 20th through the 25th, featuring country music artists, dancers and a few thousand country music fans from across Europe and the USA. Southworth is scheduled to headline on October 24, 2019, with a two-hour, full band performance. 

This is Scott Southworth's seventh European tour in the last few years. Southworth shares, "It's been amazing seeing the enthusiasm for traditional country music all over Europe. I've already been receiving messages from friends I met during my tour in France last year letting me know they were coming to see me in Barcelona! It's going to be a blast!"

It is only January, so Southworth is looking forward to more exciting announcements later in the year. To keep up with Scott Southworth's latest news, visit www.scottsouthworth.com or follow Scott at www.facebook.com/scott.southworth.
