Flamekeeper at IBMA

For all fans of Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper (remember them at Omagh last year?), East Public Relations sent this photo of them on the receiving end of the IBMA Awards Show in Nashville a week ago. From left to right: Jesse Baker (banjo), Tom Adams (guitar), Jesse Brock (mandolin), Marshall Wilborn (bass), Michael Cleveland (fiddle).

The band as a whole won the Instrumental Group of the Year award for the third time, and their recording of 'Jerusalem Ridge' was Instrumental Recorded Performance of the Year. Individually, Mandolin Performer of the Year went to Jesse Brock, Bass Performer of the Year to Marshall Willborn, and Fiddle Performer of the Year (for the seventh time) to Michael Cleveland.
