History has been made in the world of independent music. The 11th Annual Josie Music Awards—known as the largest, most inclusive, and most empowering celebration of independent artists worldwide—will officially be broadcast on the American Country Network (ACN). This groundbreaking collaboration marks the first time in history that an all-genre, female-owned, independent music award show will reach national television audiences, shining a well-deserved spotlight on the creative voices and stories that define today’s diverse music landscape.
Founded by Josie Passantino-Boone, and Tinamarie Passantino the Josie Music Awards have become synonymous with integrity, inclusivity, and the celebration of artistry without boundaries. Each year, the event honors independent musicians, songwriters, producers, and industry professionals across every genre—from country to pop, rock to jazz, gospel to hip-hop. What began as a dream has evolved into a movement, one that amplifies the heart and hustle of the artists who bring music to life on their own terms.
Now, by joining forces with the American Country Network, that movement is expanding to millions of households, giving independent artists the kind of exposure and recognition long reserved for major-label performers. The upcoming televised edition will allow fans everywhere to experience the energy, emotion, and authenticity that fill the stage each year at the Grand Ole Opry House and beyond.
The partnership is a powerful statement about what happens when passion meets purpose. It’s not just about awards—it’s about community, empowerment, and rewriting the rules of the industry. It’s about an independent spirit breaking through the static to say, “We’re here, we matter, and the world is listening.”
The air date will be announced soon, but one thing is certain: when it premieres on the American Country Network, the Josie Music Awards will once again prove that music is borderless, fearless, and unstoppable. For more information and updates, visit www.acncountry.com.
