Kentucky's presence in the circle on the Grand Ole Opry stage was frequent, heartfelt and definitely "something big" for all who had the opportunity to stand on the sacred and highly revered space to accept their award. Let's break it all down to just how BIG that was for Kentucky last Sunday night.

"For it to be a first time visit to ever seeing the Grand Ole Opry, I couldn't have thought of a cooler experience for us to go through. Getting to stand in the "sacred circle", where we all know the greats that have stood in the same spot before, and accept an award is mind-blowing. I wish I wasn't so nervouse when it happened because all I knew to do was quote Forest Gump and talk about Dr. Pepper and having to pee! The fellas of Andrew Moore and Hooch earned this one as it was a group award. I'm blessed to be surrounded with great musicians, a supportive family and a generous network of music industury folks who offer constant opportunity and advice that I always learn from.
Jeff Ruby's restaurant has to be thanked as they have booked us up to December 2025. Matthew Florez is a brother and should be thanked for always making us sound our best at our live shows. Jason Groves should also be thanked for his incredible talent in the studio on our music that we have released so far. Overtones LIVE and Renee and Warren Cobb have really been an awesome help in pushing us forward as well and should not go unnoticed or unthanked.
God has provided us with nothing but blessings and I owe everything to HIM! I am so thankful I am able to perform music and write music. The biggest thanks goes to the big man for all of this being possible. We have won two major awards this year at what I consider two awesome and major independent music awards shows.
We are incredibly thankful and humbled by this experience. It is now time to hit the recording studio and start going to work on more music!" - Andrew Moore of Andrew Moore and Hooch
