WE WON!!!!

That's right Tumbleweeds fans and friends, we WON the 2008 Academy of Western Artists Western Music Group of the YEAR Award on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 in Garland, Texas!

Big Daddy Cade and I (Tumbleweed Rob) were there at the ceremony to accept the award. We were not expecting to win. We went to show our thanks and extreme appreciation for having been nominated with the likes of the Sons of the San Joaquin and the Texas Trailhands, both of whom we respect and admire beyond measure so when they called our names....me and Big Daddy just sat there with our mouths open for what felt like an hour before we finally looked at each other and got up to make our way to the stage.

We stumbled up in a state of shock and said what we could but we definitely want to thank the Academy of Western Artists and Mr. Bobby Newton for recognizing our efforts and making this INCREDIBLE HONOR possible! We also want to thank YOU for all your support and encouragement! We couldn't do any of this without YOU!

The awards show was held in the Granville Theater and many of our friends in the Western Arts world were present including Joyce Woodson who won the Western Female Vocalist of the Year and Carolyn Martin who won the Western Swing Female Vocalist of the Year!

We had a GREAT TIME! One we will never forget! We are still in a state of shock but we are indeed blessed and deeply grateful for winning this prestigious award!

Thank you! We LOVE you!

Your pals,

Rob, Cade, Chris & R.J.
