NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 12, 2018) — Amerimonte Records recording artist Shane Owens was presented the Independent Artist of the Year Award
at MusicRow Magazine’s 16th Annual “Country Radio Meet & Greet” and
“CountryBreakout Awards” which were held at the Listening Room in
Nashville on Monday, February 5. Last year’s winner of the Independent
Artist of the Year was Aaron Watson. Awards are based on spins the
artists get on the magazine’s panel of reporting stations which is
widely regarded in the country industry as the one to watch for breaking
new artists and records. The reporting stations are heavily weighted
toward secondary markets — friendlier to independent artists.
“I’m humbled as well as forever grateful and honored to receive the
Independent Artist of the Year Award. It is quite an honor to receive
this award from MusicRow. What a great way to kick off 2018,” says Shane
Owens, adding, “I would like to give special thanks to country radio
and MusicRow Magazine for all your support and undying dedication. We
look forward to sharing new music here very soon.”
