Ameripolitan Awards 2019 Ballot Opens for Voting

Inventor of the surf guitar, rockabilly and punk pioneer Larry Collins of The Collins Kids will be honored as the Keeper of the Key at the 2019 Ameripolitan Awards, held for the second year in Memphis at Graceland's Guesthouse Hotel, Feb. 25, 2019.

The Ameripolitan Awards show, the culminating night of four full days of festivities celebrating rockabilly, western swing, outlaw and honky-tonk music, will be hosted by Ameripolitan founder Dale Watson alongside Ameripolitan Award winner and western swing bandleader Big Sandy. The artists who will be honored that night will be chosen by fan vote, a process that opens today.

The official Ameripolitan Awards ballot is available exclusively through Ballot Blaster and fans can vote online beginning today. Fans will be able to vote once per category. The ballot will close on Jan. 1, 2019.
