2019 Grammy Awards: Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Margo Price, Willie Nelson & More Rack Up Multiple Nominations
This is has been a very big — and very busy — year for country, Americana, and hip-hop music. Today, the Recording Academy announced this year’s GRAMMY nominations, and they are stellar.
Brandi Carlile has grabbed a whopping six noms, including one for Record Of The Year and Album of the Year. Carlile’s fellow Outlaw Music Festival alum, Margo Price, was nominated for one of the most coveted awards — Best New Artist — alongside Luke Combs, Greta Van Fleet, Dua Lipa and others.
Our pal Willie Nelson has secured nominations for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, Best American Roots Performance, and a Best Arrangement nod. Kacey Musgraves is riding her newest album Golden Hour to greater heights with four nominations, including one for Best Country Album.
