  1. Heather Berry Mabe: Daughter of the Stars

    Heather Berry Mabe: Daughter of the Stars

    Send us Fan Mail Every once in a while, I interview someone who is so natural and open that it feels like a chat with an old friend. That was the case with Heather Berry Mabe. In 2024, Heather won IBMA's Momentum Vocalist of the Year award. In 2025, her band, Red Camel Collective, won IBMA New Artist of the Year, and she was just chosen 2026 SPBGMA Female Vocalist of the Year.  Her band, Red Camel Collective, with her husband Tony on banjo, was Junior Sisk's band for many years, but they are making huge waves in bluegrass on their own, since their 2025 debut album.  She's a very spiritual person, with a golden voice and a personality to match. You will be hearing a lot from her!!

I think he's a force to be reckoned with. Check him out.
