Hard to believe that the MusicRow Awards have been around for more than three decades. On the evening of Wednesday, June 26, 2019, an invitation-only crowd of enthusiastic music industry folks gathered to recognize the best of the best in Nashville.

Over the years, both MusicRow magazine and the MusicRow Awards have grown in stature and importance to the Nashville music industry. 2019 marked another milestone: The 31st Awards gala was held at Nashville’s historic War Memorial Auditorium for the first time.

The gala was co-hosted by MusicRow Publisher/Owner Sherod Robertson and popular TV personality Alecia Davis. Alecia is a ‘go to’ anchor on the red carpet and backstage at the CMA Awards, ACM Awards, the Grammys and many more telecasts.
The MusicRow Awards feel particularly special to those of us close to Nashville’s music scene because they go a little deeper than many other award shows. This is the one awards ceremony that also honors the studio players and engineers who are literally instrumental in creating the hits.
“In an industry where we all face a mountain of rejection and hear ‘No’ more often than ‘Yes,’ having support from your peers is sometimes the only thing that gets you though the day. It fuels you to keep fighting and keep believing in your talent and purpose.” – Sherod Robertson, MusicRow Publisher/Owner
