The Silver Buckle Award is given to anyone in the Western Music Community who exemplifies the true cowboy spirit through their code of ethics, principles of honesty, loyalty and integrity. Whether they are poets, pickers, singers, ranchers, or cowboys, they must bring the simple, timeless values embodied in the “Code of the West” back to the forefront of American Life. This award is presented by the Musgrave Family to honor Curly and the Cowboy Way of Life that Curly dearly loved.
