40th Anniversary of TOBA National Awards to feature
special performance by Dan Tyminski Band
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association announced today that Bluegrass music and award-winning Dan Tyminski Band will perform live at the 2025 TOBA National Awards on September 6 at Fasig-Tipton in Lexington, Ky.
Throughout his 30+ year career, Tyminski has been honored with 14 Grammy Awards and is a four-time Male Vocalist of the Year honoree by the International Bluegrass Music Association. He has also recorded instrumental or vocal harmony contributions for projects by Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Joan Osborne, Charlie Daniels, Kenny Chesney, LeAnn Rimes, Rob Thomas and Charlie Haden, to name a few. His voice famously accompanies George Clooney’s performance of the classic song “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow,” in the film Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and his vocal collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii on the song “Hey Brother” was a global smash, having been streamed more than a billion times to date. His diverse solo projects and years of work with Alison Krauss & Union Station have yielded troves of award-winning music.
Listen to the Dan Tyminski Band here.
