"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/4/2015

Fresh from spending the week in Raleigh at a somewhat soggy edition of the International Bluegrass Music Association's World of Bluegrass conference, on Sunday afternoon, I tried with music to recap a few highlights of the week.  Three hours probably wasn't a long enough time period to do that, but since that's the length of our Bluegrass Cafe, I had to figure out how to make it work for today...

The Earls Of Leicester accepting one of their many IBMA Awards in 2015.

The highlight of the IBMA week is always designed to be the IBMA Awards -- who will win??  This year, the name most often called as award recipient was the Earls Of Leicester.  How can a cover band of one of the most famous bands in Bluegrass history be so darn popular?  It's easy:  they are VERY talented.  The Earls were recognized as Instrumental Group of the Year, as well as recipients of the award for Gospel Song of the Year ("Who Will Song For Me"), Album of the Year (for their eponymous Earls Of Leicester recording on Rounder), and the top prize--Entertainer of the Year.  In addition, individual members of the Earls:  Shawn Camp as Male Vocalist and Jerry Douglas as Dobro Player of the Year were recognized.  Whoa.  Rumor has it that there will be another Earls' recording coming along, and the group plans to continue recording -- and educating -- for a bit longer.

Larry Sparks performing with Alison Krauss after his
Hall of Fame acceptance speech.

Music from other award winners we shared on Sunday included tunes from Michael Cleveland (Fiddle Player of the Year), Jesse Brock (Mandolin Player of the Year), Rhonda Vincent (Female Vocalist of the Year), and Becky Buller (Emerging Act of the Year; Recorded Event of the Year for "Southern Flavor").  We also heard from one of the newest inductees into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame:  Larry Sparks.

Hope you were able to hear something you enjoyed on Sunday's radio show.  Be sure to tune in again next Sunday from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.  

Have a good week!
