2026 Artist of the Year @mollytuttle 🌸 how happy my little bluegrass heart was making this award!
My best friend @chelsvsevildead and I have spent countless hours listening to Molly’s albums over the years. Discussing our favorite tunes and Molly’s way of bringing the sounds of the mountians with her everywhere she goes.
I wanted her award to represent that. The traveler, the mountain meadow melody’s, and her multi instrumental abilities. All illustrated through the buckeye butterfly lighting on the traveling echinacea flower on the front and by the travelin’ banjo & mandolin folks on the back..both encircled by meadow flowers🪻Congrats Molly!

Congratulations to this year’s Americana Honors & Awards winners! For 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of creating the handcrafted guitar and headstock trophies for the Americana Honors & Awards. It’s been a defining part of my artistic career that began through my friendship with Americana Music Association co-founder Grant Alden and continues today through an incredible collaboration with @americanafest and @gibsonguitar.
Each year, Gibson and Epiphone provide me with guitars and headstocks. The headstocks are used by Grant to fabricate the original style awards. My job is to transform the guitars and headstock awards into one-of-a-kind works of art that honor the stories, legacies, and roots of the artists who receive them.
This year’s Lifetime Achievement Awards challenged me to dig even deeper into those stories.
For Robert Plant's Les Paul, I included a nod to his beloved white goat, Major.
Dolly Parton’s award artwork is inspired by the traditional sawtooth star quilt pattern, illustrating the songs, stories and lasting impact she has had throughout her life and beyond. The art also pays tribute to her beloved book gifting program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
On Tom Petty’s Flying V, hidden within the design are references to his pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee and the cherished gray hat he lost in a fire.
Americana has always been about roots. It’s about where we come from, the people who came before us, and the stories that continue to shape us. I believe these awards should carry that same spirit. They’re not just trophies; they’re visual tributes to the journeys, histories, and humanity behind the music.
I’m grateful to continue this tradition and to play a small role in honoring artists whose work has inspired generations. I will always love all y’all 🖤

Wanted to shout out @kyartrat and her gorgeous art on my guitars she’s done!! We first came in contact when she painted my @americanafest award guitar. I loved it so much I asked if she would paint my red SG, with some Milton Glaser inspired colorful swirls! The white SG has a snake on it in reference to Santana’s iconic Woodstock performance where he took acid and thought his SG was a snake🐍
Go check out her page and her work because she is so talented and beyond all a good human :)
Thank you again @kyartrat

Lifetime Achievement Award 🖤 @tompettyofficial Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Hidden within the design are references to Tom Petty’s pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee and the cherished gray hat he lost in a fire. The main imagery showing the love of The Hearbreakers keeping Tom’s legacy flying high- there is no doubt of the deepness of their bonds to one another and their love of the music community.
Like my dad always said- “we lost a goodun” 🖤
Honored to paint this Flying V & the matching headstock awards for the Petty Family & The Heartbreakers

2026 Emerging Artist of the Year @kenpomeroymusic 🖤
This was one of the first awards of the year I got to paint- It’s always so exciting to hear new voices and tunes. If you’ve been following along my other posts you also know it’s a wild ride of deep diving interviews, news articles, and anything I can get my hands on to learn more about the artists I’m creating an award for. Loretta Lynn’s award had a pattern in it from the wall paper of her home place, one of John Prine’s was an abstract of a pool table with Christmas lights, and for Ken Pomeroy I created vivid imagery from her music & also painted her with her beloved pup, Wrango. Not only does he have his own song but his own instagram @wrango.pdf 🖤 Dogs rule everything around me, so I couldn’t resist including her ride or die. # D.R.E.A.M.
Congrats Ken Pomeroy on your Americana Music Association win!

2026 Album of the Year - Snipe Hunter 💀🏹🦌
Inspired by the album cover, my beloved bird dogs, & a life time of hunting in the mountains of Pike County, KY- I was down right giddy painting this “turntable” for @timmytychilders @rickrubin @madeofoak
Always jump at the chance of getting to add all things hunting to an artwork. Tyler & friends never disappoint bringing the holler and the hills to life through our speakers.

Oh @mandyferguitar what a bright shining badass you are. Y’all, I do not pick favorites- but I sure did love painting this award for her. Inspired from a pack of my grandmothers playing cards and the amazing musician, Mandy Fer, who has been pushing the line further for women in music for years. What an honor to have a small part in celebrating her at the Americana Honors and Awards 🖤 Congrats! 🎸
