Rising country music star Sydney Hansen of Duluth posted the following on her Facebook page today: "To be a part of the 9th Annual Josie Music Awards at the Grand Ole Opry this year was absolutely incredible! Although I didn't win, I won big time!! To be a nominee for 'Modern Country Vocalist of the Year' was an honor on its own, being recognized among all of the talented indie artists in my category. A wonderful experience to say the least from the red carpet to being in the pews of the Opry."
