Donna wins IBMA Songwriter of the Year!
Donna Ulisse left Raleigh last week named the 2016 International Bluegrass Music Association's Songwriter of the Year.

Having never won it caused her to often joke that she was the IBMA's Susan Lucci in reference to Lucci going nineteen years before winning an Emmy for best Daytime Soap Actress. When former winner Becky Buller announced the award, she smiled at Ulisse's table and said, "You are no longer the Susan Lucci of this award."
