WBFF Fox 45 :: International Bluegrass Awards: To the Final Fiddle
Bluegrass greatness is being celebrated tonight in Nashville. The International Bluegrass Music Awards are being held at the Ryman Auditorium. This is the first year the show is being streamed LIVE online! The night kicked off with the host of the show, Dell McCoury, performing a song for the audience. We caught up with Dell and his friend and fellow musician Sam Bush on the red carpet, who cut up about hosting the show and the new bluegrass adventure they are about to embark on together.

"It's an honor to host, Sam has done it several times," says McCoury. "He wouldn't let me do it til this year."

"I said 'Move over, I'm busy.'," says Bush.

So far, here is a list of a few of the big winners:
Vocal Group of the Year: Blue Highway
Male Vocalist of the Year: Russell Moore
Best Instrumental Group: The Box Cars

Coming up at 10, we will show you the grand finale of the show featuring Steve Martin and the Steep Cannon Rangers. We also had a chance to talk to Martin about what makes the performance so special.

Houston brother will be his own attorney in court
June 18, 2013 13:02 GMT

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Roane County man will face federal gun violation charges next month without an attorney.

The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17VlXpM ) reported Rocky Joe Houston will represent himself on a charge of possession of a gun by a felon.

The charge came after Houston earlier represented himself in state court on charges stemming from a police chase. He was convicted of evading arrest and reckless endangerment.

Houston and his brother, Leon Houston, were tried, but not convicted, in the 2006 shooting deaths of a Roane County deputy and his ride-along companion.

In federal court, Rocky Joe Houston is claiming the officer who charged him with the felony had no legal authority.
