Vince Gill knows Grammy Awards: The country star, a longtime friend of legendary Monahans-born songwriter Guy Clark, has notched 20 wins so far.

Gill will headline the Rodeo Austin gala on Saturday, the evening before the annual awards show airs on CBS.

"I was thrilled to death to see (this gig) on the tour schedule this year," the 53-year-old singer says. "Austin's one of the best towns in Texas, hands-down. Great Mexican food, great golf buddies, incredible music scene. Feels good to be around real folks."
