As announced by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) earlier today, popular country and bluegrass group The Kody Norris Show garnered two industry award nominations including New Artist of the Year and Music Video of the Year for their hit single “I Call Her Sunshine.” The band is no stranger to winning awards having won a number of them at SPBGMA the past two years, but this year marks The Kody Norris Show’s first official IBMA nominations.
“We are so thrilled for The Kody Norris Show! Momentum has been building for the band and we are excited to see the IBMA voters confirm what we already know: The Kody Norris Shown is one of the best in the business!” - Mark Freeman/ Owner, Rebel Records
The IBMA nominations cap a year of highs for the band. Last month, The Kody Norris Show was honored with a new exhibit at The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Owensboro, Kentucky highlighting their music and career from throughout the years. The new exhibit, Rhinestone Revival: The Kody Norris Show, features several of the band’s brightly colored suits with intricate rhinestones and embroidery, cowboy boots, hats, instruments, and awards. In addition, the band recently returned from a successful European tours this summer where they played before wildly enthusiastic crowds in The Netherlands and Norway.
