Kathy Mattea, Hot Rize to host 2009 IBMA Awards
The International Bluegrass Music Association has announced that Kathy Mattea and Hot Rize will be the co-hosts of the 2009 IBMA Awards Show.
There have been a few years where hosting duties were split between a number of co-hosts, but this marks the first year that a full band has served in that capacity. Hot Rize consists of Pete Wernick, Tim O’Brien, Nick Forster and Bryan Sutton.
Professional members of the IBMA are through the second round of three ballots in 17 categories, with awards announced and distributed at the show. It will be held on October 1 at the Ryman Auditorium during IBMA’s week long World Of Bluegrass event.
This is always a gala affair, and a feel-good night for bluegrass music. The Bluegrass Blog will be on hand again this year providing live blog coverage, and posting photos from the show.
We encourage anyone who cares about bluegrass music to make a point to attend the Awards Show when you can make it fit your schedule.
