'Blue Elephant with Christmas Tree,' 'Blackhole Sun' and 'Close Conversation' by Workman
This will be the first time Workman, 65, has shown his artwork publicly, and he credits G Spot’s owner, the late Wayne Gilbert, for encouraging him to do so. Sadly, Gilbert died of cancer just a couple of weeks ago, on Aug. 17, and his presence as an artist and tireless advocate for Houston’s creative community will be missed. “While I hate the idea of Wayne not being here to guide me, his final text to me was him making sure I’d keep my obligation for a September show,” says Workman. “I’m both sad and honored to be the closing show at ‘The G.’” (The future of G Spot after Workman’s show closes is currently up in the air.)
In addition to recording his own meditative and instrumental music and producing such masterworks as The Wheel Workers’ 2022 album Harbor, Workman is a practicing psychotherapist, with a focus on helping creatives sustain a positive relationship with their talents. It’s yet another side of Workman, whose irreverent, beautiful drawings are infused with a connection between creativity and wellness.

“This Academy of Country Music award is a testament to the dedication of our volunteers, staff, partners and artists,” said Rodeo CEO and President Chris Boleman in a statement, “who are deeply committed to producing a one-of-a-kind event year after year.”
This is the second time the Rodeo has received the honor. The last time was in 2020, when acts like Willie Nelson and Maren Morris headlined before the mega-event was ended early due to Covid. “The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is thrilled to receive this award for the second time, cementing our status as one of the most prestigious Rodeos in the world,” added Boleman,
The Academy of Country Music Honors will air in a two-hour special on FOX on Sept. 18. Other nominees for the category this year included the Auburn Rodeo, Cheyenne Frontier Days, Florida Strawberry Festival and the Iowa State Fair.
