Bobby Bones was presented with the Partners in Music Award at the 54th Annual ASCAP Country Music Awards on Monday, October 31 at Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville. Creative Director Robert Filhart presented the award to Bones for his unwavering support of emerging and established ASCAP songwriters and artists.
“We salute Bobby Bones for his genuine commitment to exposing new country music on his program,” said Vincent Candilora, ASCAP EVP Licensing. “By giving songwriters the opportunity to be heard by his broad and influential audience, he helps everyone — songwriters and radio succeed, and music listeners get to enjoy great new music.”
Earlier this year Bones released Bare Bones: I’m Not Lonely if You’re Reading This Book (Dey Street Books), which spent four weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list after capturing the #1 spot on multiple lists including USA Today and Wall Street Journal.
