Event Details
America chose Buddy Jewell as the very first winner of the USA Network's hit reality show "Nashville Star". Buddy was the true viewer favorite from the very beginning, capturing 65% of the nationwide voting and beating out 11 other contestants, most notably, Miranda Lambert, by over 2 million votes on the final episode. He and America have been involved in a love affair ever since.
His self-titled Columbia Records debut release landed at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Album charts, was certified GOLD later that same year and garnered two back-to-back top five hits with "Sweet Southern Comfort" and "Help Pour Out the Rain (Lacey's Song)" Both tunes are RIAA certified 1 million radio air plays.
Buddy has been recognized by the Grammy's, ACM, CMA, ABC Radio Networks, ICMA, ICGMA and CMT with multiple awards and nominations. In 2011, he won the International Country Gospel Music Association's "Entertainer of the Year" and "Crossover Artist of the Year" awards. In 2015, he was inducted into the Arkansas Entertainer's Hall of Fame. In 2018, his #1 Christian Country hit, "I'm There", won the ICMA "Song of the Year" and in April 2019, Buddy won ICMA "Male Vocalist of the Year".
His talents as a songwriter have garnered him an ICMA #1 for "When Mama Prayed". Buddy's touching ode to this father, "When I'm Good and Gone" received Grammy consideration for Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White and in May 2019, Buddy's song, "One in a Row", co-written with Thom McHugh, was released by Randy Travis as his first new song in over 6 years. His newest album release (2020) "Bluebonnet Highway" has received much critical acclaim from the likes of Robert K. Oermann, Marty Raybon of Shenandoah and Patty Loveless. Most notably, the first single, "Teardrop in the Gulf of Mexico" debuted at #19 on the Bluegrass Today Top 20 Singles Chart while the album, "Bluebonnet Highway", reached #20 on RMR's Americana Chart.
2023 has been an incredible year for Buddy with tour stops in the Faroe Islands, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Germany and Austria. He was also honored with a plaque on the Arkansas Walk of Fame, In March, Buddy released a new anniversary version of his mega-hit "Sweet Southern Comfort" featuring Clint Black, The Bellamy Brothers and Marty Raybon of Shenandoah, which shot to #1 on the Cash Box Independent Singles chart Buddy Jewell gives back to his community and beyond, serving as past spokesperson for The Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation and Compassion International. He ministers to inmates at nearby facilities on a regular basis as well. Buddy especially has a heart for children and actively supports several worthy causes including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He has served our nation throughout his career, supporting and entertaining our troops at home and abroad, highlighted by an extensive USO tour to remote forward operating bases on the front lines in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan with Sergeant Major Kenneth O. Preston, Buddy Jewell is a proud American patriot, a devoted father and husband, and an outspoken follower of Jesus Christ.
