The band has won awards for Song of the Year, Emerging Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and their third album, “Things That Fly,” garnered a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental.

The long-running festival merges with the Big Sky Big Grass Music Academy offered Feb. 5-7, featuring well-known instructors from all walks of the bluegrass community.
