Cherryholmes Nominated For Two Grammy Awards

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Bluegrass family band Cherryholmes have been nominated for two Grammys at this year's Grammy Awards: Best Country Instrumental Performance for their song "Sumatra", and Best Bluegrass Album for 'Cherryholmes III: Don't Believe'. This makes for a career total of four nominations, including Best Bluegrass Album nominations for every single one of their Skaggs Family Records releases.

This has been a banner year for Cherryholmes, whose album has been earning raves from NPR, The New York Times, Billboard, USA Today, Newsweek, and more. Newsweek gushed that the band 'explodes with exuberant fiddle, expert banjo, and passionate harmonies'. The New York Times said the band engages in 'ferocious bouts of fiddling.' USA Today and Time Out New York were both especially fascinated with Cia Leigh Cherryholmes, the band's eldest daughter and principal songwriter. USA Today called her 'bluegrass' most stunning new female singer,' while Time Out kept it simple; to them, she's a 'future star.'

Up next for Cherryholmes are a string of performances that will dramatically expand their sound. Starting in January 2009, they will begin performing with orchestras around the country. Audiences will hear rescored work from all three of their Skaggs Family-released-albums, newly composed material, songs with similar lyrical motifs combined into suites, and more.
Upcoming dates include January 8th at Portland's Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall with the Oregon Symphony, November 14 - 15 with the Spokane Symphony in Spokane, WA, and April 15 - 17, 2010 with the Nashville Symphony in Nashville, TN.
