Buddy Miller; Instrumentalist of the Year
Buddy Miller continues to do what he does best: Everything! The past year has found Buddy everywhere as a songwriter (including a track cowritten with Julie Miller that was featured on Levon Helm's Grammy-winning Dirt Farmer album); a producer (working on projects for the likes of Allison Moorer); and touring with Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss & Robert Plant and others. Buddy does it all. Look forward to his forthcoming album on New West Records in the spring featuring "Watcha Going to do Leroy," which he and Robert Plant debuted at this year's Honors & Awards show.

Levon Helm; Artist of the Year
“Levon represents everything in American music that appeals to me,” says studio ace Larry Campbell. “All genres within what is called Americana—rock ’n’ roll, blues, country, bluegrass, old-time music and soul—he can do with authority. Levon starts singing it and you believe it.” Helm’s remarkable comeback started with the triumphant and now heralded Ramble at the Ryman performance and continued with his Vanguard released Grammy-winning Dirt Farmer album.
