Julianne Hough

While I was in Nashville for the Country Radio Seminar, it was exciting to hear first-hand, the announcments for Top New Artists from the Academy of Country Music. Julianne Hough, Jake Owen and Zac Brown Band all received new artist awards on Friday, March 6th. The awards were voted on by fans through GACTV.com.
