Terry award nominees announced

Branson Tri-Lakes News Entertainment: The nominees for the 3rd annual Branson Terry Music Awards were announced Tuesday afternoon at this year’s host venue, the Jim Stafford Theatre. The ceremony is set for Oct. 9. Beene, who is also a professional musician, started the awards nearly 40 years ago due to his love of country music and musicians who never seemed to get the credit they deserved. The Texas native conceived the idea for the awards while working for a radio station in Fort Worth, Texas.
