    Claire Lynch, IBMA’s “Female Vocalist of the Year” appears in her first MAMA concert with bandmate Matt Wingate.

    Lynch has long been recognized as a creative force in bluegrass music and at the forefront of women who have expanded the genre. Since her first recording at the age of 19, she has received countless awards and two Grammy nominations, and has performed at music festivals and theaters around the world for over two decades.

    Lynch’s style encompasses classic bluegrass and thoughtful infusions of contemporary folk, country, rock, and swing. Her songs have been recorded by Kathy Mattea, Patty Loveless, and others, and she has performed as a backing/harmony vocalist with Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and Pam Tillis.

    "Whatcha Gonna Do" (September 2009) earned three IBMA nominations, including "Song of the Year" for “My Florida Sunshine” and "Recorded Event of the Year" for “That's What Makes You Strong,” a duet with Jesse Winchester.

    Guitarist Matt Wingate has been accumulating his own accolades. At 15, he won the Merlefest guitar championship and was recently featured on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine . Wingate’s skill on the guitar, bouzouki, and mandolin and his vocals provide a perfect fit with Lynch.
