News: 2023 Grammy Nominations Announced in Our Favorite Categories
The 65th GRAMMY Awards will air live on Sunday, February 5th on CBS and Paramount+
Each year since 1959, the Recording Academy has presented awards to recognize achievements in the music industry. The GRAMMY Award is recognized as the pinnacle of music achievement, and for American Blues Scene, our favorite music falls under the category of American Roots Music.
The Roots Music talent pool gets deeper each year, with fresh, new artists joining its depths, new sub-genres of music being added, and crossover hits becoming all the rage. American Roots Music is becoming a global phenomenon, and we’re fortunate to be on hand for its expansion.
