The Glover Awards

Saturday, April 27, 6 PM

Henry Glover, a Langston High School alumnus, was a pioneering black songwriter, producer, arranger, A&R man, and musician who grew up in Hot Springs. Later, he became one of the first black music executives and the first black producer of country music. A few titles in Glover's catalog include: "Fever," "Drown In My Own Tears," "Blues Stay Away From Me," "California Sun," and "The Peppermint Twist." To help cement Henry's legacy in his hometown, HSACA created a songwriting competition in his honor. This Glover Awards will be emceed by Arkansong's Stephen Koch. The Glover Awards will be held on Saturday, April 27, at 6 PM on the Art Springs Stage. The Glover Award trophy is handcrafted by artist Brad Wreyford and donated by the Arkansas School for Math Sciences and the Arts.
