My good friend and business partner Chris wouldn’t do this and I had to wrangle this information from him.

Chris Keaton, along with songwriters Larry Willoughby and Hank DeVito were honored on Monday, October 15 at the ACSAP Country Music Awards for the song “Building Bridges”, recorded by Brooks and Dunn (with additional vocals by Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill), which was one of the most played songs of 2006/2007. The awards ceremony was held at the historic Ryman Auditorium.

Congrats Chris! What an honor!
