The Time Jumpers

B

Barry

I read that this Western Swing band has been nominated for a Grammy award for Best Country Album.
Frankly I am not familiar with the Time Jumpers, as I never heard them mentioned on country radio. The Wikipedia article about them is very brief.
Does anyone know if they have been played on mainstream radio, and how they may have developed enough of a following to be given this level of recognition?
It seems rather cool that a country band that is probably not a household name received a Grammy nomination, though I realize the actual winner will probably be one of the other better known acts.

You've never listened to the Chubby Howard show on WBZI (myclassiccountry.com) or to WSM because they are prominently played on those radio shows have even been on the Grand Old Opry. Many prominent Nashville session players are part of the group including Vince Gill and other "stars" have rotated through the group.

I believe from both Chubby and Eddie Stubbs that they originated as a group of pickers getting together for an informal jam at "The Station Inn" in Nashville on Monday nights. Recently due to ticket demand and space limitations they have relocated to a larger venue.
