Despite all the musical expressions that were presence and highlighted during the 10th Anniversary of the Carolina Music Awards from North and South Carolina, which was held at the Duke Energy Center for Performing Arts in Raleigh on Saturday, August 6, the presence of country music seemed to take center stage.
So, many people weren't surprised when Tim Elliot, who has been described "as an authentic and passionate blue collar guy" walked off with the 2017 Country Male Artist of the Year Award.
"I am been playing music since I was eight years old." admitted the "country cool" singer from West Jefferson, NC.
"But, I am extremely appreciative of the Carolina Music Awards. Because, they focus so much on the talent that's right here in the Carolinas.
TE, who has great stage presence and connects with his audience during his live shows, is currently on tour and will be performing at Duck's Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, SC on Aug.10, Carolina Night Life in Darlington, SC on Aug.11, and The Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville, TN on Aug.18.
Don't be surprised, however, with songs like "What's Not Love," which TE sings-"Lord Have Mercy. Look at my baby. She drives me 455 kinda of crazy," and his new song "Start Pourin' Whiskey On it"- in his musical catalog, that this "Carolina Country Boy" ends up at the Country Music Award in Nashville instead of Raleigh next year after he gets off the road. www.timellliottlive.com
