17 year old Waller County High School Student Brad Garcia wins the MellowD Music 1st Annual Tony Booth Award for most promising male vocalist of 2008.

Mr.  Tony Booth started his career at 14 years old (Wikipedia).   He won the most promising male vocalist.  His accomplishments are many.  He started out with Buck Owens. His peers were Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty and many other greats.  His career is exemplary.  For these reasons MellowD Music chose his legend to commemorate our first award. Tony Booth was kind enough to be present to present the award.  He is shown below in the baby blue shirt.

This was quite the event.  Brad has been singing with the Bareback Band throughout his senior year of high school.  On the day of the award we all celebrated Tony Booth's Birthday everyone was invited and a great time was had by all.
