“For Awhile” To Receive 2019 CMA of Texas Duet of the Year
at Ceremony October 24th in Katy, Texas
NASHVILLE, TN — More great news is on the horizon for Bobby Marquez’s latest project, “The Cowboy Way.” The CMA of Texas has awarded Marquez and Rhonda Vincent Duet of the Year for the track titled “For Awhile.” Trophies will be presented on October 24th at Mo’s Place in Katy, Texas during their fifth annual event.
“I have loved this song since I first wrote it. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill had it on hold “for awhile”, no pun intended, so I couldn’t do anything with the song. When it became available, I knew Rhonda was the voice for this song. She just has so much emotion. It gives me goosebumps to listen to it. I am so grateful to Rhonda for recording with me and the CMA of Texas for recognizing us,” shares Marquez.
Bobby Marquez co-wrote “For Awhile” with Memarie. it appears on his summer 2018 release, “The Cowboy Way” featuring the Queen of Bluegrass Rhonda Vincent. The CMA of Texas previously honored Bobby Marquez last year for the title track.
