The Crooked Road Executive Director, Jack Hinshelwood, will make the presentation and club director Roger Adkins will be on hand along with NRCC’s president Dr. Jack Lewis, to accept the award.

The Crooked Road organization describes affiliated venues and festivals as representing “the very best in authentic Crooked Road music and presenting a high-quality, community oriented experience on a very consistent basis.”
