This morning John and I find ourselves in Nashville for the IBMA press conference announcing this years award nominees. We’ll be covering the conference in some depth and will publish a post immediately following the conference with the full list of nominees including links to their respective websites, bios and audio clips (when available). We hope this feature will allow voting members of IBMA to make informed decisions about this year’s nominees.

Following the conference we’ll be recording a couple of interviews with artists who are in attendance. As soon as we finish up with that task we’ll start work on getting a photo gallery uploaded along with a video podcast of the announcements.
