/by

Steve Martin and Alison Brown have been revealed as co-hosts of the 2025 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards on Sept. 18.

Martin and Brown’s single, “5 Days Out, 2 Days Back”, which features Tim O’Brien, is nominated for Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year, and Collaborative Recording of the Year at the upcoming awards. The song will be included on their first full length album, Safe, Sensible and Sane, slated for release via Compass Records in October. Brown is also nominated for Banjo Player of the Year.

“I’m thrilled to be hosting with Alison Brown, and connecting with all my bluegrass friends as opposed to my kinda dumb comedy friends,” says Martin.

“The IBMA Awards show is always one of my very favorite nights of the year,” says Brown. “I’m so honored to co-host this year with my banjo pal Steve Martin.”

The IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards show will take place in Chattanooga at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, and tickets are available to purchase through Ticketmaster here.
