As announced by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) today, award-winning country & bluegrass group, The Kody Norris Show is nominated for two categories including New Artist of the Year and Music Video of the Year for their single “I Call Her Sunshine.” This year marks The Kody Norris Show’s first official nominations at the IBMA Awards. The group was recently 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.

“Now this excites us,” shares Kody Norris. “We were listening to the nominees live and were absolutely shocked to hear our name in both categories! We hope our fans and voting members will remember The Kody Norris Show when casting the final ballot!”
“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

Tickets are now on sale for the 35th annual IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards, and for all IBMA World of Bluegrass events; visit worldofbluegrass.org for details.

On the heels of the nominations, the Grand Ole Opry has invited The Kody Norris Show to return, nearly one year after their Opry debut (August 9, 2023). On Wednesday, July 31st, the group will once again perform on the revered stage, followed days later with a full concert at the legendary Station Inn, Saturday, August 3rd.

Earlier this year, the band brought home seven trophies from SPBGMA for Entertainer of the Year, Instrumental Group of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Band (Overall) of the Year. Adding to the wins, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris was named Fiddle Performer of the Year, and Josiah Tyree won Banjo Performer of the Year.

Of the twelve songs included on The Kody Norris Show’s latest album, Rhinestone Revival, four are penned by frontman Kody Norris: "Baltimore I’m Leaving," "Please Tell Me Why," "Gotta Get My Baby Back," and their latest single, "Fiddler's Rock." Last October, the first single, "Mountain Rosalie," was released along with an accompanying lyric video. New elements to Rhinestone Revival include a track sung by Kody's fiddling "sweetie" Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris, who steps out on "Endless Highway," a tune Alison Krauss made famous in 1990. In addition, the band's banjo ace, Josiah Tyree, takes the lead on their current single, "I Call Her Sunshine." Charlie Lowman rounds out the group, keeping perfect time on bass.
