NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country hitmaker Max T. Barnes was honored as the “International Artist of the Year” at the Hot Country TV Awards in Ireland on May 1. The event was filled to capacity and was held at the Slieve Russell Hotel.
The award is based on the artist’s popularity and the number of requests per week for the artist’s music. The Hot Country TV Awards is the largest annual country music event in Ireland. Max performed at the awards alongside Irish country artists Nathan Carter, Trudi Lalor and Margo O’Donnell.
“I am honored! I spent my whole life on music row writing songs and now I am having a blast singing them all around the world! What a crazy life. I am blessed,” said Barnes.
Max just finished his Spring tour of the UK and Ireland. In May and June he will be performing in Branson, Mo., and Nashville, Tenn., before heading back to Ireland in July.
