LOS ANGELES — When it comes to awards shows, Molly Tuttle knows the line about how it's an honor just to be nominated. What she found out only recently, though, is that the way you're nominated can be its own reward.
Tuttle, a 30-year-old singer and guitarist widely respected in the world of bluegrass music, is up for two prizes at Sunday's 65th Grammy Awards: best bluegrass album for her third studio LP, "Crooked Tree," and best new artist. The first nod she'd long regarded as a goal — "something I'd have to work really hard for," as she puts it, "but attainable because I've had friends who've been nominated."
Best new artist, on the other hand, "was not something I'd even thought was a possibility," let alone that she'd get the news from one of pop's biggest young stars.
