Echoes Artists Are All Over the Grammy Awards.
Echoes goes to the Grammys. The Grammy awards are a bit irrelevant to the music we play on Echoes, but every year it’s fun to see what music we play pops up into the greater public consciousness and what popular artists move more toward the sound of Echoes like Taylor Swift who is nominated for six Grammy Awards around her album, Midnights. I can’t remember a time when a record we played was nominated for Album of the Year. Echoes artists slip in several other category including Best Dance/Electronic Album, Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Pop Solo Performance. And of course, there are several Echoes artists in the New Age, Ambient, Chant category. The Grammys are coming this Sunday, and Echoes nominees include Hans Christian and David Darling, Billie Eilish, Bela Fleck, Olafur Arnalds, and Shakti. Get your tux and gowns on for the red carpet walk for Echoes at the Grammys from PRX.
