A number of bluegrass artists are up for awards from the Academy Of Country Music when they are presented on May 23. Rob Ickes (dobro) and Bryan Sutton (guitar) are nominated in the Top Specialty Instrument Player of the Year category, and both Glen Duncan and Aubrey Haynie are nominated for Top Fiddle Player of the Year.
The ACM Awards will be telecast on CBS at 8:00 p.m. (5/23), and while we hope to see a mention of these instrumentalist awards, they will not be presented during the televised portion of the program – what the ACM describes as Off-Camera Nominations.
Best of luck to all our bluegrass music representatives!
