Wade Bowen Announced As A Judge for the 2024 American Songwriter Contest
Judge Wade: Wade Bowen will be one ot the esteemed judges for the 2024 American Songwriter Contest along with some major artist/songwriters. The deadline to enter is December 9, 2024, and winners will be notified in the Spring of 2025. The grand prize winner will receive $10,000 in cash along with a consultation with a major label A & R executive and other prizes.
More about Wade Bowen from the American Songwriter website: With over two decades and more than 4,000 shows under his belt, Wade Bowen has become a staple in country music, known for his songwriting and captivating live performances. As an artistic heir to American icons like Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and Robert Earl Keen, Bowen is a significant voice in the legacy of Texas troubadours spanning over 50 years. Texas Radio concurs, awarding him Male Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year at the 2024 T3R Awards for the second consecutive year.
Revered as one of the genre’s finest and most authentic modern voices, Bowen’s approach is rooted in tradition, but also stands on the creative cutting edge. His focus remains on writing unique songs with a literary quality and shifting his sonic territory to match his life. More than a dozen albums have shown his musical diversity – including ten studio sets, four live collections, and an ongoing series of buddy-country hits with fellow Texan, Randy Rogers. On May 10th, the singer-songwriter released his tenth studio album, Flyin, showcasing his diverse musical range and hard-hitting songwriting, as well as a cast of respected features that add unique elements throughout.
A dedicated philanthropist, Bowen founded the Bowen Family Foundation, which has raised over $6 million to support children and families in central Texas, benefiting organizations such as March of Dimes Waco, CASA of McLennan and Hill Counties, City of West Disaster Relief, Boys & Girls Clubs of Waco, Inspiración, The Mentoring Alliance, and more.
This year's panel is composed of industry executives and established artists across a variety of genres ranging from country to jazz. To learn more about this year's contest and to enter:
