Narrows Alums Up For Awards

The Americana awards are coming up, and Narrows alums Mary Gauthier, Hayes Carll, Jerry Douglas, The Duhks, and Sonny Landreth are among the nominees.

Here's an article I grabbed from www.radioandrecords.com


Earle, Gauthier & Merritt Lead The Pack

Steve Earle, Mary Gauthier and Tift Merritt each have received three nominations for the fourth annual Americana Honors & Awards. Buddy Miller earned two nominations, and a track from Miller's nominated album Universal United House of Prayer, "Worry Too Much" by Mark Heard, is nominated for Song of the Year. Also scoring nominations in the five member-voted categories were (alphabetically) Alison Brown, Hayes Carll, Jerry Douglas, The Duhks, Tom Gillam, Sonny Landreth, Gurf Morlix, John Prine and Martha Wainwright.

The AMA will also present five additional awards during the Sept. 9 Honors & Awards ceremony: Lifetime Achievement Awards for Songwriter, Performer and Executive; the President's Award; and the First Amendment Center Spirit of Americana Free Speech Award
