Gleason Lands 12 NAEJA Nominations

Holly Gleason has been nominated for 12 National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards, including two for the HITS features “Country at a Crossroads” and “Grammy Chew: Country.” Her HITS conversation with Shaboozey scored two noms.

Other nominations include a New York Times profile on Megan Moroney and a conversation with executive Bruno Del Grenado on the state of Latin music for POLLSTAR.

“Country and roots music are at several interesting pivots, with a lot more at stake than just who the next superstar will be,” Gleason said. “It's an honor to apply almost four decades of knowledge to contextualizing artists, analyzing trends not just in music but our culture—and trying to create an understanding between industry types of artists who aren’t their day-to-day reality while offering informed takes on the rising stars for anyone who loves music.”

Gleason is currently promoting her new book with Kenny Chesney, HEART LIFE MUSIC. The book tour, in which Gleason is participating with Chesney, begins Nov. 1 at the Country Music Hall of Fame inductee’s alma mater, East Tennessee State University.
