For the ninth time, Del McCoury walked away with Entertainer of the Year honors at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards in Raleigh, North Carolina late last week.  The Travelin’ McCourys won for Instrumental Group of the Year and Del’s son Rob McCoury took home the award for Banjo Player of the Year.   Del McCoury was unable to attend the awards show, but son Rob relayed his thanks for the Entertainer pick…

“If Dad were here, he’d want to thank my mother, Jean. She’s been his rock. He would also like to thank Rainmaker Management and all the folks at Reliant that keep him working just as much or as little as he cares to these days.”
