More praise for Alan

NSAI Chief Operating Officer Jennifer Turnbrow considers Alan a “fantastic choice” for the award, highlighting the singer’s body of work and self-written songs that have become classics. Turnbrow assured that some of Alan’s works would be given the spotlight at the event to celebrate his thriving country music career; however, she admitted it was a challenging task to select a project from his impressive catalog.
