Brother/sister duo The Roys pulled off their third consecutive award in as many years at last night’s 19th Annual ICM Faith, Family & Country Awards. The Roys took out the organisation’s coveted Bluegrass Artist of the Year Award.
In addition to winning their most-recent award, The Roys were honoured to act as presenters during the show. They shared those duties with American Idol’s Melinda Doolittle, The Voice’s Holly Tucker, Jim Ed Brown, Former NBA Player Mike Glenn, and Andy Griggs.
I am speechless – Elaine Roy.
It’s hard to put into words just how much this means to us. We are humbled once again – Lee Roy.
