Congratulations to Branson music greats

Branson was well-represented in the 2026 Josie Awards, held over the weekend in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Josie Awards is an annual awards event that celebrates the Independent Music Industry, musical legends and icons.

Congratulations to Branson's own Tony Orlando for receiving the prestigious Icon Award during the special ceremony.

Songwriter and vocalist Billy Yates, who also makes his home in Branson, took home the coveted Legendary Songwriter Award.

We will have more information on these two award-winners and the Josie Awards Ceremony in next week's issue of The Branson Globe.
