Nashville,
Tenn. (August 15, 2013) – It’s not easy for every Country music artist
to make a successful transition into Bluegrass. Many have tried and few
have succeeded. MARTY RAYBON, former lead singer of GRAMMY Award-winning Country music group SHENANDOAH, has defied the odds.
Tenn. (August 15, 2013) – It’s not easy for every Country music artist
to make a successful transition into Bluegrass. Many have tried and few
have succeeded. MARTY RAYBON, former lead singer of GRAMMY Award-winning Country music group SHENANDOAH, has defied the odds.
Last night, at the 2013 IBMA Award Nominations ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee, Raybon landed two prestigious nods: “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year” (for “Beulah Land“ from the album Southern Roots & Branches / Rural Rhythm Records).
“When
it comes to the category of ‘Male Vocalist’ it truly comes down to
preference,” says Raybon. “To make a list such as this is a recognition
of confidence that the voters feel one has been worthy to carry the
mail. In the past 40 years of being in the music business, 2013 has
been a highlight year for me and Full Circle. To win this award would
be an incredible achievement to top off the last of The Back Forty, my current album.”

On his “Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year” nod, Raybon adds, “‘Beulah
Land’ written by Squire Parsons is one of the most soul stirring songs
we do. It has been a song of comfort for many and helps them to
remember that their loved ones await them on the shores of the
everlasting. It’s been a honor to sing this song to hopefully ease the
pain that some may be dealing with or have dealt with in the past.”
