Sister Sadie was honored at the Smithville Fiddlers’ Jamboree, and after wowing the crowd Saturday afternoon, they were presented with the Jamboree’s Blue Blaze Award.

Originally formed as a pickup band in December of 2012, Sister Sadie has reached heights beyond any of their dreams. In 2019, they won their first IBMA award as a band, Vocal Group of the Year. They debuted on the Grand Ole Opry. Their album “Sister Sadie II” was nominated for a GRAMMY. And it’s only picked up steam since then.

2020 brought with it another wave of IBMA Awards including Fiddle Player, Vocal Group & Entertainer of the Year.

In 2021, the band took home a third consecutive IBMA Vocal Group of the Year award, and new member Jaelee Roberts was awarded the IBMA Momentum Vocalist of the Year award.

Now, entering their second decade as a band, the spark that they felt all those years ago burns brighter than ever before.

The Blue Blaze Award is given to artists for continuing and promoting bluegrass music as well as participating in the past Jamborees.
