The Grammys are officially underway.
The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards have already started announcing the winners of select categories in their pre-telecast ceremony, including categories in the country, bluegrass and Americana genres.
Billy Strings’ Home took home the win for Best Bluegrass Album, meanwhile the late, great John Prine has won two Grammys for “I Remember Everything,” the last song he ever recorded.
Billy shared his reaction to the news, also thanking his family, his band and his fans for helping him along the way.
Thank you thank you thank you. To the band, the team, the fans. ❤️❤️❤️ #speechless #HOME #GRAMMYS @RecordingAcad pic.twitter.com/NJsQ1YOZ4z
