Corey was also honored to receive two tickets to the Nashville Symphony as a reward for the "Most Artistic Award", voted on by everyone in attendance.
Below is a description of what Corey's scrub design was about.
Replica Lefty Frizzell "Nudie" Suit
Lefty Frizzell broke new ground, not only with his vocal style, but by being the first country singer to wear rhinestones on stage. Around 1953, shortly after relocating to California, Frizzell teamed up with the best western tailor in the Los Angeles area, Nudie Cohen. Lefty brought to Nudie the idea to add detachable fringe to his suites so that he would be able to easily change the color and keep the women from tearing his expensive stage cloths to pieces when they pulled at him. But Nudie had his own plans for the Columbia Records discovery of the year, asking Lefty to be his guinea pig, he designed a white cowboy suite with an “L” and an “F” scripted on the lapel filled with blue rhinestones. This would be the first time Nudie, the Rodeo Tailor, would ever put rhinestones on a country singer’s clothes. But not the last, he would go on to create many of Lefty’s well known stage outfits.
Nudie and his wife Bobbie, came to California in the early 1940's and started making clothes out of their garage. He became established as a cowboy clothier around 1946 when he outfitted Tex Williams' band. Although Lefty is credited for helping Nudie become forever known as the “Tailor to The Stars”, his most famous suits were created for Hank Williams and in 1957, Nudie made a $10,000 gold lame' suit for Elvis Presley.
As the nephew of Country Music Stars, David & Lefty Frizzell and the son of award winning, Country Gospel Great, Allen Frizzell, Corey’s proud of his musical heritage and pays tribute to his roots by creating a replica, Lefty Frizzell “Nudie” suit. Being an artist and having royal, country music blood running through his veins, Frizzell’s design is sure to set itself apart and have nostalgic country music appeal.
