PEMBROKE – Rob Cole’s music career has started rolling.
Last month, the independent Pembroke musician brought home the Christian Country Single of the Year award at the Carolina Country Music Awards for the song “Jesus & a Woman.”
“It meant a lot to me. I picked my head up, I guess, and kind of looked around to see where I was. I’m very thankful,” said the 33-year-old Evans Crossroads community native. “I still feel like I’m very young in this country music thing. I’m very thankful for the work I’ve put in and the progress I’ve made. And it’s paying off.
“Maybe I took a couple of days to kind of celebrate it with friends and family. My head is back down,” he said, “and I’m working on a little album. We’re going to keep pushing and see where we’re going from here.”
The awards ceremony was held Jan. 20 at the House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
