Harry Clark Named IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year

Nashville, TN - The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) has announced the recipients of the 2022 Momentum Awards, awarded today as part of this week’s IBMA World of Bluegrass.

Harry Clark, mandolin and vocalist for East Nash Grass, received the 2022 IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year Award.

The IBMA Momentum Awards, sponsored by Campbell University School of Law, focus on artists and industry professionals who are in the early stages of their bluegrass music careers. There are four performance awards: one each for Band and Vocalist, and two for Instrumentalist. Two more awards recognize industry achievement: Industry Involvement, and Mentor.

Nominees and recipients are selected by a multiple, committee-driven process. Regional and local associations — as well as all IBMA members — are encouraged to identify serious emerging artists and leaders for consideration.
