Tumbling Tumbleweeds win Western Artists of the Year

Dear Tumbleweeds Fans and Friends,

We are SO PROUD and happy to share the great news with all of you! We just got back from the Western Music Association Music Festival and Awards in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we WON the 2008 Crescendo Award for "Most Promising Talent!"

It was an unforgettably exciting night as we sat during the awards show awaiting the results and we were so glad that all of us Tumbleweeds were able to be there together to accept the award!

As you know, the Western Music Association is very near and dear to our hearts so this award is very special to us indeed.

The show itself was a star-studded event with many of Western Music's most luminous stars and we were so deeply honored to have been presented the award by none other than Miss Juni Fisher herself!

It was an evening packed with incredible performances by folks like Dave Stamey, The Texas Trailhands, R.W. Hampton, Joyce Woodson, Juni Fisher & Patty Clayton and a trio consisting of Judy Coder, Audrey McLaughlin and the legendary Marilyn Tuttle!

We were also named Best of Show in the Harmony Contest in which we were presented the 2008 Marilyn Tuttle Harmony Award of the Year! Marilyn has been a firm guiding force for us so to receive an award that bears her name is an honor we will always cherish!

We want to thank our sponsors Jim & Bobbi Jean Bell of Out West Marketing ( www.outwestmktg.com ) for outfitting us for our special night as well as Ralph and Tamara from Ralph's Backporch Radio Show for making it possible for our friends and family to listen in to the awards show "live" from home via the Internet on www.ralphsbackporch.com.

It was a truly wonderful and amazing night!

We are so very grateful! Thanks and Blessings to all!

Your pals,

Rob, Cade, Chris & R.J.
