IBMA Awards Show returns to the Ryman
Last month we told you about plans for the production of the IBMA Awards Show, with top bluegrass DJs Ned Luberecki and Cindy Baucom being entrusted with the task.
We also mentioned briefly that the 19th International Bluegrass Music Awards would be held at the Ryman Auditorium once again.
Greg Cahill, IBMA President/Board Chair spoke about the show’s return to the Ryman Auditorium ‚Ķ‚Ķ‚Ķ
“The decision by the IBMA Board of Directors to move the Awards Show back to the Ryman Auditorium was twofold. Attendees at the annual World of Bluegrass convention, which includes the Awards Show, have consistently mentioned that they appreciated seeing the Awards Show in the hallowed Ryman Auditorium hall and the Board saw moving the show back to the Ryman as both a response to the wishes of the fans as well as an opportunity to make the show more conveniently accessible to the World of Bluegrass attendees, who can simply walk across the street from the convention center to the Ryman. Although there were more available seats at the Grand Ole Opry House, Awards Show attendees had to either drive to the facility or pay to take a shuttle from the convention center.
We are excited about once again having the IBMA Awards Show in the historic Ryman Auditorium and look forward to another wonderful show that will honor our award recipients and will include dynamic musical performances by many of the nominees.”
The award ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, October 2, 8:30pm CST.
Del McCoury and Kathy Mattea will announce final nominees for the 19th Annual International Bluegrass Music Awards at a Press Conference on Thursday, August 14, at the Ford Theater, Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum, in Nashville. The IBMA Hall of Fame inductees and Distinguished Achievement Award honorees will also be announced.
Rounder Records duo Dailey & Vincent will perform at the beginning and conclusion of this press conference.
We will have full coverage of the nominees announcements on The Bluegrass Blog as soon as the press conference has concluded, by noon on August 14.
