SPBGMA 2009

Ronnie Bowman performs on the 2009 SPBGMA Awards - photo by Dean HoffmeyerOur friend Dean Hoffmeyer sent along some great photos from yesterday’s 2009 SPBGMA Awards in Nashville.

Dean is a professional photojournalist (Richmond Times Dispatch), banjo enthusiast, and free-lance photographer with an interest in bluegrass music. He has shot a number of recent CD covers and has a fascinating collection of National fingerpick photos online, complete with historical data.

The SPBGMA photos he sent show performances from the awards show, several of the winners with their trophies and a few candids from the vending area. We are still trying to run down a complete list of winners, and will post them as soon as possible.
