Contrary to the Pop Culture spectacle you see on the televised portion of the Grammy Awards, independently-distributed acts are actually WINNING Grammys, and many more — of course — are receiving nominations, including a number of artists that sell their music worldwide through CD Baby.
CD Baby is proud to be carrying the following Grammy-nominated albums, listed here with their award category:
Descendants of Hill Country by Cedric Burnside Project (Best Blues Album)
Get Ready by The Revelers (Best Regional Roots Music Album)
Generations by Windwalker & the MCW (Best Regional Roots Music Album)
Identities are Changeable by Miguel Zenón (Best Latin Jazz Album)
Happy. And A Lot. by Jay Mohr (Best Comedy Album)
How Great Can This Day Be by Lori Henriques (Best Children’s Album)
Grace by Paul Avgerinos (Best New Age Album)
Love by Peter Kater (Best New Age Album)
Bhakti Without Borders by Madi Das (Best New Age Album)
Asia Beauty by Ron Korb (Best New Age Album)
Köln by Marshall Gilkes & the WDR Big Band (best Large Jazz Ensemble Album)
Lado B Brazilian Project by Catina DeLuna & Otmaro Ruiz (Best Arrangement, Instrumentals and Vocals)
Congrats to all of these talented artists! And good luck at the Grammys.
