Shon Branham was crowned Entertainer of the Year at the Kirbyville Country Music Show, marking his second time receiving the prestigious title. The annual event, typically held at the Palace Theater, was relocated to the Kirbyville High School Cafeteria due to ongoing roof repairs.

The competition, which brings together top performers from the past year, featured a dynamic lineup of talented singers, each vying for the coveted title. Contestants included Christina Greenwood, Hunter Burchett, Kayse Chappell, John Jackson, Butch Leger, Krissy Melancon, Brenda Davidson, Noah Jackson, Baylei Jordan, Case Granger, and Branham. Each artist performed two songs, with the audience casting their votes to determine the winner.

Branham, who has been performing country music for his entire life, emerged victorious after a memorable performance of “Statue of a Fool,” which earned him a standing ovation. His victory came after a year of challenges, including a serious illness, which he overcame to perform in the competition. Branham’s emotional rendition of the song was believed to be his final performance, adding even more significance to his win.
