(Special the Democrat-Gazette/Emily Wall) Sherwood native David Adam Byrnes, who on June 6 was named entertainer of the year and male vocalist of the year at the 2022 Arkansas Country Music Awards celebration in Conway, will perform Friday at Little Rock’s South on Main. “It’s validation that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing so it’s not just an award for me,” Byrnes said of the awards.
