T Bone Burnett, also on hand, gave a poignant statement saluting the artists for "telling the truth" through their music.
The Civil Wars and Mumford and Sons each earned nominations in both the New/Emerging Artist (with The Secret Sisters and Jessica Lea Mayfield) and Duo/Group of the Year categories. The Album of the Year field also includes Lucinda Williams’ Blessed, while the Song of the Year category is rounded out by The Decemberists featuring Gillian Welch’s “Down by the Water.” The Avett Brothers are up for Duo/Group of the Year—an honor the band took home in 2010.
