IBMA awards

Award-winning bluegrass artist Dale Ann Bradley has opened up about her latest single 'Mary's Rock,' which has garnered positive reviews since its release a month ago. The track, a historical story song from South Appalachia, will feature on her forthcoming studio album due out via Pinecastle Records in early 2026. Despite not receiving a 2025 IBMA nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year, Bradley remains enthusiastic about the genre's growth.
