Grammy Noms for Zac Brown Band
Country music newcomers, the Zac Brown Band, have clearly made a real impact this year judging by the three Grammy nominations they’ve received from the Recording Academy.
In the country-centric categories, ZBB grabbed two nominations: one for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group for their hit song “Chicken Fried,” which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart; the other for Best Country Album for The Foundation, released in November 2008. In these categories, they run up against some of the veterans of country music, including Brooks & Dunn, Keith Urban, George Strait and Rascal Flatts.
But the real feather in the band’s cowboy hat is the coveted spot in the Best New Artist category,where they will compete with other musical newbies, namely Keri Hilson, MGMT, Silversun Pickups and the Ting Tings.
Be sure to tune in to see who wins! The 52nd Grammy Awards airs on January 31, 2010, from the Staples Center in LA on CBS at 8pm (EST).
