HARDY Named Songwriter Of The Year at the 57th ACM Awards

by jwills | March 9, 2022

Did you watch the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards on Amazon Prime Video Monday night?

The two hour show was filled with a bunch of great performances, and acceptance speeches from the awards given out – but there were additional honors that fans didn’t get to see…like ACM Songwriter Of The Year – which went to HARDY!

After winning the award, HARDY shared, “I moved to Nashville to be a songwriter, and this is the highest honor I could ever receive. Thank you to every single person who helped me get here. I love you all. God is good and God bless COUNTRY MUSIC.”

Congrats to HARDY the songwriter – but HARDY the singer isn’t doing too bad either as he has 2 songs in the Top-20 Billboard airplay chart.

“Give Heaven Some Hell” from his 2020 album, A ROCK, is now Top-15 (and climbing)

HARDY is also in the Top-10 with Dierks Bentley & Breland as they are working their way closer to the top with “Beers On Me.”
