Get those banjos ready because this isn't a joke: Actor and comedy legend Steve Martin will co-host the IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards for the first time alongside Grammy-award winning roots musician Alison Smith. This years show will take place Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern in Chattanooga Tennessee at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium. Fans are able to purchase tickets via Ticketmaster. 'I'm thrilled to be hosting with Alison Brown and connecting with all my bluegrass friends as opposed to my kinda dumb comedy friends,' Martin said in a statement. 'The IBMA Awards show is always one of my very favorite nights of the year,' Brown added. 'I'm so honored to co-host this year with my banjo pal Steve Martin.' Martin is a longtime lover of bluegrass first picking up the banjo as a teenager. He's released a number of albums and even created the bluegrass musical Bright Star for Broadway – a complex love story set against the American South written by Martin and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Edie Brickell. In addition to their hosting duties, Martin and Brown's collaborative single 5 Days Out 2 Days Back has been nominated in three categories: song of the year, music video of the year, and collaborative recording of the year. IBMA is the International Bluegrass Music Association.

Judge dismisses lawsuit filed by Alec Baldwin for malicious prosecution in fatal 'Rust' set shooting
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) – A New Mexico judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by actor Alec Baldwin for malicious prosecution and civil rights violations in the 2021 fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie 'Rust.' The judge in a ruling made public Wednesday dismissed the case without prejudice for lack of any significant action with the claim, which was filed in state district court earlier this year. Baldwin's attorneys will have 30 days to file a motion seeking reinstatement. Luke Nikas, Baldwin's lead attorney, told The Associated Press in an email that the dismissal amounted to a nonevent since his team has been waiting to prosecute the case. 'We have been in good-faith settlement discussions with the parties to the lawsuit and will be refiling promptly if those discussions are not promptly and favorably resolved,' he said. Defendants include special prosecutor Kari Morrissey and Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, along with three investigators from the Santa Fe County sheriff's office and the county board of commissioners. A charge of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin was dismissed at trial last year on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense. The trial was upended by revelations that ammunition was brought into the Santa Fe County sheriff's office months earlier by a man who said it could be related to the killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The allegations in Baldwin's tort claim include defamation, with his attorneys saying that prosecutors and investigators targeted the actor and coproducer for professional or political gain. Hutchins died shortly after being wounded during a rehearsal for the movie 'Rust' in October 2021 at a film-set ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Baldwin was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when it discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer–but not the trigger–and the revolver fired. The actor recently spoke to The Associated Press at San Diego's Comic-Con International, saying he couldn't believe what happened that day in court as the trial came to an abrupt end and that his life over the last year has been far better than the few years that preceded it. Still, Baldwin and other producers of 'Rust' are being sued in New Mexico state court by the parents and younger sister of Hutchins. Court records show a deposition for Baldwin in that case was put off in May and has yet to be rescheduled.
