John Michael Ferrari Wins Two Clouzine International Music Awards for 'Love is...' and 'Old Gravel Road'

Singer-songwriter honored with Best Country Album and Best Country Song by the Clouzine International Music Awards Fall 2026

ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, September 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Multiple award-winning singer-songwriter and entertainer John Michael Ferrari received two honors from the Clouzine International Music Awards Fall 2026, earning Best Country Album for "Love Is…" and Best Country Song for “Old Gravel Road.”

The double win arrives during an especially exciting time for "Love Is…". The album has also been accepted for For Your Consideration (FYC) in the 2027 GRAMMY^® Awards in the category Best Contemporary Country Album.

The two Clouzine awards recognize both sides of Ferrari’s storytelling — an album centered on the many dimensions of love and a deeply reflective song inspired by faith, memory, and the roads that shape our lives.

> “I’m very grateful to the Clouzine International Music Awards for these honors,” Ferrari said. “Songs begin as something very personal, but once you release them, they belong to the listeners. Knowing that *Love Is…* and ‘Old Gravel Road’ connected with people in this way means a great deal to me.”

Produced by Pepper Jay, "Love Is…" brings together songs that explore love through romance, longing, devotion, memories, heartbreak, and hope.

“Old Gravel Road,” released through Cappy Records, has become one of Ferrari’s most recognized songs of 2026. Its heartfelt country storytelling has received growing radio and industry recognition throughout the year.

The new Clouzine honors continue an eventful season for Ferrari. “Old Gravel Road” was also named Best Folk Song by the World Songwriting Awards, while Ferrari was honored as USA Male Vocalist of the Year – Silver by the International Singer-Songwriters Association.

For Ferrari, however, awards remain secondary to the connection between a song and the person listening.

“There’s never a stranger in the audience.”

That philosophy has followed Ferrari throughout his career as a songwriter and entertainer, whether performing onstage or telling stories through recordings that cross country, pop, adult contemporary, folk, and gospel influences.
