    Scotty T says This is just plain awesome. Of all the bull-shit nominations the Grammy's have, a blue grass nomination hold tons of street cred, cheers to your uncle and his band.

    Lyrikhan says It's a guitar with a resonator. Some have curved necks and are played like a standard guitar while others have flat necks and are played like a lap steel....my uncle plays the latter way. Here's a picture of one...

    Cody B says It's a tough category and it is tough to win on an indie label..I know that from my indie label days...I think they have a good shot though..Best of Luck. Also, that is a beautiful instrument.

    Lyrikhan says i would think all the labels in that category are indie though, no? plus they have been a pretty influential band on that bluegrass "scene" for a long, long time...may be time for their due :) we'll see. I'm sure Kanye or Justin Timberlake will win the award somehow.

    kat3260 says Alrighty - well they're playing Charlottesville Feb. 28, then it looks like a few shows around the MD - VA area at the end of March. Let's make this happen!
