Here are this year’s nominees:
- Lady A
- Old Dominion
- The Red Clay Strays
- Zac Brown Band
- Little Big Town
Who is Most Likely to Win the Award?
Old Dominion has dominated the Vocal Group of the Year category for the past four years, and it seems they might repeat their success in 2024.
The popular country music band has enjoyed a fantastic year, releasing the 31-track album Odies but Goodies in September 2024, with the collection receiving much acclaim from critics and fans.
Another win would result in Old Dominion setting a winning record of seven in the category, as they currently share the record of six with The Statler Brothers, Rascal Flatts, and Little Big Town.
If Old Dominion loses out on the award this year, The Red Clay Strays is the next favorite to be called onto the stage for the award this November.
The band’s star has been rising at a rapid pace since their 2022 song “Wondering Why” went viral on TikTok in 2023, which led to them signing with RCA Records in March 2024.
Since then, there has been no stopping them, as they have recently completed a five-date tour across Europe, and they released their second album, Made by These Moments, in July 2024 to much acclaim.
Winning Vocal Group of the Year would be well-deserved for the band and would likely be a highlight of their phenomenal year.
Of course, Little Big Town is likely eager to walk back onto the stage for the award, as the band hasn’t won Vocal Group of the Year since 2017.
Until Old Dominion came along, the group dominated the category, winning the award for six consecutive years.
A lack of wins is bound to feel frustrating for the four-piece group, as it has set the record for the longest consecutive nomination streak in the category, as the band has been nominated an incredible 19 times since 2006.
Of course, one band that can sympathize is Lady A, which won the award for three consecutive years from 2009 to 2011 until Little Big Town came along.
While the band continues to release superb albums and a string of hits, the experienced trio is less likely to walk away with the award in 2024.
Of course, the Zac Brown Brand will be hoping to finally receive the award, as they currently hold the record for the most nominations without a win with 12.
