Grammy Nominations: Jelly Roll, War and Treaty, Lainey Wilson, Brandy Clark and More Nab Multiple Nods
Nominees for the 66th Grammy Awards were revealed Friday morning and Jelly Roll and The War and Treaty, along with songwriters Jessie Jo Dillon and Shane McAnally, have the distinction of being the only Nashville creators to have made it into the most prestigious all-genre categories.
Jelly Roll, who won Best New Artist at the CMA Awards earlier this week, and The War and Treaty, join other singers in the Best New Artist category including Gracie Abrams, Fred again.., Ice Spice and more. Dillion and McAnally are included in Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical.
But what you won’t see when the 66th Grammy Awards air February 4 live on CBS are Nashville’s other critically acclaimed names including the highly nominated Brandy Clark, Lainey Wilson or Chris Stapleton outside of their designated genre spaces. Album, Record, Song and Producer of the Year have no country or country-esque attachments.
