The Midwest Country News publication's readers and fans
awarded Brian 3 honors in 1990: Entertainer of the Year,

Billy Cole. In 1995, Brian helped open the show for
Country Music Hall of Fame member, Kitty Wells. Brian
released a 10 song cassette in 1996 entitled, "Just Me".

entitled, "Midwest Country News, The First Twelve Years".
Brian has performed dozens of shows with Buddie

won Country Group of the Year from the Midwest Country
News. They placed second in a readers choice poll in the
Des Moines Register's Datebook for Favorite Country
Band. They have opened the show and were the band for
the Grand Ole Opry's Del Reeves, Country Music Hall of
Fame member Hank Thompson, Iowa's own Smokey Smith
and others.In 2005, Brian wrote another song that he felt was worth
recording. The song, "Too Many Heartaches, Too Many
Goodbyes". This time Brian and his son Brandon recorded
all of the instruments, Brian sang lead, and Brandon added
his harmony. People at the shows and dances liked the
song. Brian and Brandon decided to turn to Billy Cole
once again to see if it was a song that he would play on his
radio program. They asked for his honest opinion so they
would know what to do or not do the next time. Billy liked
the song. He called them and left a message before they
got home from his house. The song was on the air that
night. KWMT 540AM in Fort Dodge is also playing it.
Thank you to everyone playing the song and supporting
Iowa entertainers and real country music.
