The Recording Academy will crown 2018’s Grammy Awards winners on Sunday (Jan. 28). The 60th annual Grammys ceremony is set to take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City; the televised ceremony will begin at 7:30PM ET on CBS, and even more awards will be handed out during the pre-telecast Premiere Ceremony, which begins at 3PM ET.
Nominees for the 2018 Grammy Awards were announced in late November. Although no country, Americana, bluegrass or folk artists received nominations in the four all-genre categories — Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist — a few names popped up in other genre-specific categories in addition to the country-, Americana-, bluegrass- and folk-specific categories.
A full list of country, Americana, bluegrass and folk 2018 Grammy Awards nominees is below. The Boot will update this story as winners are revealed.
The Boot will be staying up late covering the most buzzed-about country winners, fashion and moments at the 2018 Grammy Awards. Readers can watch along with us by checking back to TheBoot.com for the latest Grammys headlines, liking The Boot on Facebook and following The Boot on Twitter.
