2023 ACM Nominations Announced

Country Universe favorites Kane Brown, Ashley McBryde, and The War and Treaty are among this year’s ACM nominees.

The long overdue awards show love for Brown is especially validating and vindicating, as he claims his rightful place as an Entertainer and Male Artist nominee.

The War & Treaty join the Vocal Duo lineup, while McBryde’s landmark Lindeville concept album earns an Album of the Year nod.

The ACM Awards will be hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks and will stream on Amazon Prime on May 11.
