IBMA Awards Show – the festivities begin

The Awards Show evening has begun. We’ve set up backstage to blog the show and we’re seeing a lot of bluegrass performers backstage heading to dressing rooms to get themselves ready.

Kyle Cantrell at XM Satellite Radio has a dressing room converted into a studio and he’s busily conducting interviews. When I walked past a moment ago the Dailey Vincent Band was just sitting down with him.

John and I will be bringing you updates the rest of the evening as the event unfolds. Stay tuned for more IBMA Awards Show news!
