Lonnie Musil on Lead Guitar, Nuet Larson Drums, Jim Hyatt on Bass and Keyboards and Chuck Lettes on Steel Guitar
The show is over and the results are in. McKenzie after a week long festival is exhausted and luckily just so happens to have today off from school. The experience McKenzie received at the week long festival is very much appreciated and will help launch her into a new direction here in the future. I can't wait to see whats in store in 2012 for McKenzie! During the awards banquet at the end of the week McKenzie was awarded "Top Female Teen or Youth Vocalist". She was recognized and awarded for her second place finish earlier this year in the "Star Karaoke Competition" held in Sutton, Nebraska and finally, she was awarded a "People's Choice". This was voted on by all those that attended the performances over two days. Mckenzie's name was also on the ballot for Nebraska entertainer of the year... Congratulations to Gretta, you did a great job and we really enjoyed your performances.
Again, the festival and being a part of the Nebraska Music Foundation are a huge reason McKenzie is starting to become confident in herself and we owe a lot to it. I encourage anyone who loves to sing especially country music to join the Nebraska Country Music Foundation. Yearly membership dues are due every fall at the festival and the cost currently is a very resonable $25. You should check it out, you'll be glad you did.
