Hes won the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA) Midwest traditional vocalist of the year six times since 1990, the lastest being for the year 2003. This award is bestowed upon the recipient by the fans. He was also nominated for the national traditional singer SPBGMA Award in Nashville in 1991 and 1992.
Joe Smith, a native of Pennsylvania, but now living in Lamar, Missouri, has been named Dobro player of the year by fans in the Midwest SPBGMA organization for the past nine years. He was also nominated for the honor at the national level in Nashville in 1992.
