The Bluegrass Blog has now issued five different episodes of it’s coverage on the 2008 International Bluegrass Music Awards that took place earlier in October.
Host Katy Daley speaks briefly with many of the stars of the bluegrass industry, including the award show’s host Del McCoury and Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent, who as a duo won seven different awards.
Although Daley revolves much of her conversation around “So, who are you wearing tonight?” the interactions between her and the musicians provide a rare, intimate perspective.
Not often in Del McCoury asked to “take a spin” and show off his clothing.
Much of the interaction between Daley and the artists seams awkward, which comes as no surprise. Bluegrass artists typically don’t chat about their hair-stlyer or the brand of shoes they’re wearing.
Daley presents more of a “red carpet” persona in her interviews and is generally uninformed about which artists are performing where and when and which artists are nominated for awards.
It is also noticeable when Daley does know what she’s talking about, as she makes a point to show her previous affiliations with certain artists.
See for yourself on the Bluegrass Blog’s Web site. You will be entertained by the interactions between Daley and the artists.
