Maddie Dalton, bassist of Mountain Home Music Company recording group Sister Sadie, was named one of the International Bluegrass Music Association's Momentum Instrumentalists of the Year at Wednesday's Momentum Awards Luncheon in Raleigh, North Carolina.

It’s been four long years since award-winning quintet Sister Sadie released their last album, and while the group’s hardly been idle — they took home the International Bluegrass Music Association’s top Entertainer of the Year award in 2020, Vocal Group of the Year trophies in 2019, 2020 and 2021, along with a miscellany of other honors, all while bringing three new members on board — the clamor for new music has only grown since then.
