The Recording Academy kicked off GRAMMY Week at the GRAMMY Museum with the first-ever ‘A Celebration of Craft,’ presented jointly by the Academy’s Producers & Engineers and Songwriters & Composers Wings. This year’s event honored seven-time GRAMMY winner Leslie Ann Jones and shined a light on the people working behind the scenes to create the year's best musical works.
The night included performances by current GRAMMY nominees Brandy Clark and The War and Treaty, and highlighted the current Songwriter Of The Year nominees, with Edgar Barrera, Shane McAnally, Theron Thomas, and Justin Tranter making appearances.
Also at the event were artists like Taylor Hanson, Jimmy Jam, Lisa Loeb, and MAJOR., and Recording Academy leaders such as Harvey Mason jr. (CEO), Panos A. Panay (President), and Tammy Hurt (Chair of the Board of Trustees). With the Academy looking forward to honoring Producer Of The Year and Songwriter Of The Year in the General Field for the first time at the 66th GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, A Celebration of Craft was an incredible celebration of the people behind the music.
