a record-breaking attendance of 71,000 fans from all over the world,
Nashville’s annual CMA Music Festival has become one of the largest
celebrations of its kind. June 7-10 played host to hundreds of
star-studded events, including booth signings and performances by some
of country music’s up-and-coming – and Little General Records trio
Taylor Made was no exception. In from their native West Virginia, the
group met with fans, performed on Music City’s famed Broadway, and
interviewed with media and radio.
But the highlight of ‘Fan Fair’ came when Taylor Made performed at
Broadway’s latest edition, Honky Tonk Central. During their full-band
show, which included former singles Heavy Duty Beauty, Good Love, and current single Things You Don’t Grow Out Of, they were awarded New Music Weekly’s Best New Country Group of 2012.
“It was a complete surprise receiving this award in the middle of our
performance,” said Greg Duckworth of Taylor Made. “Not only was it an
honor to have won the award, but such a wonderful experience getting to
share that win with friends, family and fans.”
Taylor Made recently released their latest album, Good Love, and is gearing-up for a radio tour to promote Things You Don’t Grow Out Of. For more information regarding the trio, visit www.taylormadecountry.com.
