Jarosz, Bell Among Concord’s 18 Grammy Noms
Concord Music Group is celebrating a weighty haul of no fewer than 18 nominations for the 2017 Grammy Awards, including three for Sugar Hill singer-songwriter Sarah Jarosz (pictured above) and two for Stax soul man William Bell (below).
The 59th annual ceremony will take place on 12 February, 2017, and Concord’s 18 nods recognise its wide-ranging roster across a family of labels that includes Bicycle, Concord, Concord Jazz, Fantasy, Fearless, Kidz Bop, Loma Vista, Razor & Tie, Rounder, Stax, Sugar Hill and Vanguard.
Jarosz’s impressive fourth album Undercurrent was nominated for Best Folk Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, and its track ‘House Of Mercy’ for Best American Roots Performance. Bell’s notable return to Stax, This Is Where I Live, is shortlisted for Best Americana Album and its lead track ‘The Three Of Me’ for Best Traditional R&B Performance.
