2019 Golden Mic Awards: See the Full List of Nominees … and Vote!
In 2018, The Boot introduced the Golden Mic Awards, and in 2019, the reader-voted digital awards series is returning for another year! Recognizing the best in live country and Americana music, The Boot's Golden Mic Awards feature nine categories of staff-selected nominees who rule the stage.
Five of the 2019 Golden Boot Awards categories recognize touring acts of varying sizes -- Best Stadium Act, Best Theater Act, Best Club Act, Best New Live Act and Best Regional Live Act -- while the other four honor artists' backing bands, this year's biggest tours, incredible live moments from throughout the past year and some truly legendary live performers. A complete list of nominees is below; click each category name to go vote.
Readers are now able to vote for their preferred winner in each category as often as once per hour through 11:59PM ET on May 22. We'll announce the winners on the site the next day, May 23.
