Steve Martin competes for top bluegrass honors
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - October 1, 2009 Martin has already collected Grammy and Emmy awards.
He said a few days before the show, to air on satellite radio
from Nashville on Thursday night, that he was excited and said
winning a bluegrass award "could be better than an Oscar."
Martin's first music album, "The Crow: New Songs for the
Five-String Banjo," has topped the bluegrass chart this year.
Dan Tyminski, a guitarist and singer, and his band had nine
nominations, including entertainer of the year. The duo Dailey &
Vincent has seven nods.
Martin is a finalist for six awards.
