Winning Best Blues Song recognizes Hawkins' depth as a songwriter and his ability to deliver emotionally resonant storytelling. His 2nd Place finish for Best Blues Song Cover further demonstrates his gift for reinterpreting classic material with both reverence and originality.

"I've always believed the blues comes from a real place—it's something you live as much as you play," Hawkins said. "To have Wind Fly South recognized in this way means more to me than I can put into words, and I'm truly grateful to the panel of music industry judges who selected these performances. To also be honored for my interpretation of a song by Leon Russell makes it even more special. I'm deeply grateful to the incredible musicians who brought these songs to life. Wind Fly South owes its soul to Tommy Cox on resonator guitar, Tom Shannon on bass, and Hoppy Williams on acoustic and slide guitar. A Song For You shines thanks to Rusty Holloway on bass, Levi Adelman on piano, and Loudermilk Chambers' beautiful orchestration. This recognition belongs to all of them as much as it does to me."Known for his soul-stirring vocals, driving rhythms, and meticulous production craftsmanship, Hawkins continues to push the boundaries of modern blues while honoring its roots. Beyond performance, his work as a recording engineer and producer allows him to shape music from concept to completion, creating recordings that resonate with audiences worldwide.
