These are individuals and businesses that TCMA, as the supporting organization for the Texas Country Music industry, must honor.”

According to Linda Wilson, President of the Texas Country Music Association, the Texas Country Music Summit, and Texas Country Music Industry Awards’ inaugural year in 2023 was an enormous success. “The Texas Country Music Summit in 2023 was over the top. This Summit is much different than any other type of music conference. It is designed to be educational and informative with our primary focus on listening to the needs of those in the industry, then bringing in industry professionals who are Texas Country Music industry stakeholders to supply expertise, direction, and workable solutions.” Texas Country Music Summit and Industry Awards presentation is unique to TCMA. She goes on, “It’s just what TCMA and our Members are all about – encouraging others, thanking them for their service and paving a way for others to become involved in the industry and to use whatever their gifts, talents, skills and abilities may be.”
More information about the 2023 Texas Country Music Summit location will be available soon as well as tickets to the event. “We want to thank Sawyer Park Icehouse and their owners and staff for hosting the Texas Country Music “Industry Awards” on May 9 and we’re looking forward to a great time at their awesome venue.” says Linda Wilson.
