It’s that time of year again--artists sit and wait by the phone to see if the Grammy folks or their PR firms call with the good news “Hi, you’ve been nominated…” Well, maybe they don’t actually sit by the phone and wait, but when the news does come, it’s a rush I’m sure!
We too look forward to that news every year as many of the nominated artists have either been to the Kimmel or are planning on coming. The 48th Annual Grammy Awards Nominee List has been announced and here’s what we know so far (and btw, the list is 57 pages long and a killer on the eyes to read so hopefully I caught them all!):

Tony Bennett (05-06 season)
Emmylou Harris (05-06 season)
Luciana Souza
Joshua Redman
Ravi Coltrane (05-06 season)
