Country music band Alabama will receive the Award of Merit at the 30th annual American Music Awards Jan 1 hits and the most awards in any category on the American Music Awards 55 13 at the Shrine Auditorium " Previous recipients include Bing Crosby, Irving Berlin, Johnny Cash, Ella Fitzgerald, Perry Como, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Garth Brooks and the Beach Boys go 66/ ABC Web site: http://abc Reba McEntire will make the presentation abcnews An inscription on the Award of Merit, given in recognition of "outstanding contributions to the musical entertainment of the American public," will read: "For over a quarter of a century, the energy and excitement of this band's music has brought them millions of fans, an amazing 42 No Twenty other awards will be handed out during the three-hour ceremony, hosted by the Osbourne family and broadcast on ABC television "What I had imagined as a 'cultural fusion' film had become a 'coming of age in America' film," says Seavey, who heads the Documentary Center at George Washington University Nearly five years after they came to Nashville's Music Row, the sudden flurry of attention is dizzying, and most welcome, group members say In one scene, Toshinsky performs "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" for an exam before stoic professors at a Moscow music conservatory in November 1999 Most of the band members ended up living in the home of their manager, Mike Kinammon, but with no money coming in, he lost his recording studio beringstraito nline the icing on the cake â€â€? that they've come so far and that they've stuck with it as long as they have Borzilova, who now has just a trace of an accent, remembers struggling with the lyrics to "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain The apartment building where three band members lived caught fire, and they escaped with just their instruments " Nearly all the songs on the "Bering Strait" CD are written by Nashville songwriters, and they can sound like a lot of other country music on the radio today There's no Tanya grit, no Loretta twang, no Wynonna gusto; just careful, meticulous enunciation of each word," wrote Richard McVey in the Nashville magazine Music Row last month "Going through all those labels and deals was difficult Can the Russians forge their own identity on the country music scene? "That's the ultimate question," Seavey says There was a point where some people said, 'I don't know if I can stay any longer,'" Toshinsky recalls But as the band trudged through one failure after another, the project took on new angles Now, they've played the Grand Ole Opry, released their first CD, been the subject of a music documentary and been nominated for a Grammy Two songs that have received the most positive attention are "Bering Strait" and "Porushka-Paranya But it lacks passion "The story of them surviving so much over all the years is But they ran into a string of difficulties while recording tracks for an album Ostrovsky picked up the dobro, and a bluegrass band was formed As he tickles the banjo into raucous bluegrass laughter, the professors look unimpressed, then smile "Technically speaking it's flawless â€â€? it has range and it's smooth as glass But with a classical guitar teacher's encouragement, 11-year-old Toshinsky discovered the flying fingers on Earl Scruggs' banjo classic "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" in 1988 and began playing the instrument For many Russians, bluegrass is the same thing as country music " The first â€â€? a bluegrass instrumental â€â€? was nominated for a Grammy for country instrumental performance The second â€â€? an upbeat retooling of a traditional Russian folk song â€â€? jerks audiences out of their seats with a whirlwind of music and Russian lyrics "Will country music allow them to be who they're meant to be?" â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: www "We've been waiting and hanging together for such a long time and we've been through a lot None could work second jobs because of visa restrictions They gradually moved from bluegrass toward more popular country, and signed with Arista Records in 1999 In February, the documentary "The Ballad of Bering Strait" screened in New York, Los Angeles and Washington, and will be shown on Country Music Television in March They have opened for country star Trisha Yearwood, performed at the Grand Ole Opry five times and appeared recently at New York's B King's Blues Club and Grill Now, Bering Strait's music, and luck, has picked up The six young Russians who make up the group Bering Strait are children of scientists and engineers from a once-closed Soviet nuclear city " As teenagers, the three musicians â€â€? calling themselves "Cheerful Diligence" and wearing cowboy hats and boots â€â€? developed technical expertise playing in clubs and on local television The Arista deal fell through, as did a succession of talks with other labels Their self-titled CD was finally released last month on the Universal South label, a division of Universal Records In 1992, Toshinsky attended the Tennessee Banjo Institute, and over the next several years, the group â€â€? now expanded to six members â€â€? traveled to Tennessee for performances com Their fiddler quit, and another was hired "It's a nice addition to classical training â€â€? it definitely improves your skills, though it takes a long time to learn," says Natasha Borzilova, now 24, who joined the group when she was 11 Filmmaker Nina Gilden Seavey says that when she started shooting in 1999, the story of classically trained Russians playing country was novel enough Bering Strait is rising faster than a Bill Monroe mandolin riff B An American art dealer, Ray Johnson, saw the group perform in a Moscow restaurant and helped them move to Nashville in 1998 They became avid listeners of George Strait, Garth Brooks and other country music stars Russian Band Noticed for Playing Country Feb 26, 12:56 PM EST They're classically trained Russian musicians steeped in Tchaikovsky and now playing Scruggs "It's so incredibly important to sell this band on the integrity of the musicianship and the quality of the music that they make," says Tim DuBois, the record executive who signed the group to their initial Arista contract and now co-owns Universal South Now it is time for something to happen," says banjo player Ilya Toshinsky That was especially true in Obninsk, a city 60 miles southwest of Moscow that was left off Soviet-era maps because of its top-secret research institutes Known in Nashville as "the Russian kids," they have developed an enthusiastic local following Bluegrass and country are "our roots, just the same way classical music is," says lap steel guitarist Sasha Ostrovsky Some critics have called the group's performance flat Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, both were about as easy to find as Western newspapers â€â€? not very |
