Grammy Award For Best Country Instrumental Performance
The Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance was awarded from 1970 to 2011. Between 1986 and 1989 the award was presented as the Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance (Orchestra, Group or Soloist).
The award will be discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, the best instrumental performances in the country category will be shifted to either the Best Country Solo Performance or Best Country Duo/Group Performance categories, both newly formed.
Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
