The second annual People’s Choice Country Awards is set to take place at the historic Grand Ole Opry on September 26.  And it has been revealed on People’s Choice Instagram that Kane Brown will be honored during the ceremony with this year’s Country Champion Award. The award recognizes an artist’s passion for service and groundbreaking contributions to the country music industry and beyond. Last year’s Country Champion Award was bestowed to country legend Wynonna Judd.

“Since the beginning of his career, Kane Brown has ensured that his legacy will extend beyond music,” shares Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Live Events and Specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “His dedication to empowering and supporting younger generations is nothing short of inspiring, and we’re thrilled to honor him with the Country Champion Award.” Brown has already scored an impressive 11 No. 1 singles at country radio since the Georgia native released his self-titled, 2x-Platinum debut album back in 2016. Brown was also the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously. (Holler)
