HENRYVILLE — An Indiana-native was nominated for a Grammy on Tuesday.

Michael Cleveland was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album for the record Fiddler’s Dream, according to Billboard.

Cleveland, who was born blind, was previously nominated for a Grammy, the News and Tribune reported.

He attended the Louisville School for the Blind and attributes some of his fiddling talent to his blindness. He told the News and Tribune that students were often told to not look at the fiddle while playing, even suggesting they play in the dark.

“Your ears are the most important thing when you’re learning to play,” he said.

Cleveland plays fiddle and sings for the Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper band.
