Carroll County teen Hunter Flanagan made history Nov 8th, 2019 by being the youngest artist in history to win the Georgia Country Music Award’s overall Artist of the Year.

This was the first year he was nominated as an adult.

Fan voting first narrowed the field, and then a panel of judges consisting of members of the music industry cast votes, and Hunter was declared the winner.

Hunter has opened for Mark Wills and Confederate Railroad, and will be doing monthly shows in Nashville beginning in 2020.
