Winners For Carolina Country Music Awards Revealed

Carolina Country Music Association Presents CCMAs

The CAROLINA COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION has revealed winners of its 2021 CAROLINA COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS (CCMAs). Recipients were selected by a panel of judges from the music and broadcasting industries for all categories except Entertainer of the Year. The group WHITS END was selected as the winner of the Entertainer of The Year category, which was voted on by listeners at four CAROLINA radio stations owned by ANDRULONIS MEDIA: WMIR/MYRTLE BEACH, SC; WUDE/WILMINGTON, NC; WYAY/GEORGETOWN-CHARLESTON and WFAY/FAYETTEVILLE, NC. The group received a record-breaking 181,000 votes.

The CCMAs is an annual event produced by CHRISTY "SWEET TEA" ANDRULONIS, who is PD/afternoon host at the four participating radio stations, and Executive Dir. of the CAROLINA COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION. The event is typically held at the HOUSE OF BLUES in NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, but took on a virtual format this year due to the pandemic.
