The annual awards show first began in 1977 when Terry Beene, a Texas radio DJ, made a joke on air about the upcoming Terry Awards, which was a play on the popular Tony Awards show. Soon folks began calling the station to get tickets to the non-existent event and led Beene to put together a real awards show to recognize area entertainers.
The Terry Awards were held in Texas until 2014 when Beene brought his awards show to Branson and changed the name to the Branson Terry Music Awards. On Monday, July 18, the 2022 Branson Terry Music Award nominations were presented at a press conference at Hamners Unbelievable Variety Theatre in Branson.
