The best in bluegrass were honored Thursday night (Sept. 26) in Raleigh at the annual IBMA Awards, where the Gibson Brothers took home their second straight Entertainer of the Year trophy along with two other awards, making them the top winners at this year’s ceremonies.

Tony Rice and Paul Warren were inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame during the evening, and Rob Ickes took home his 15th trophy in the Instrumentalist award category as Dobro Player of the Year.
