Congratulations to Molly Tuttle, Alarm Will Sound, Donnacha Dennehy, Rhiannon Giddens, Justin Robinson, Ambrose Akinmusire, Brad Mehldau, and Wilco, all of whose works have been nominated for the 68th Grammy Awards. You can hear all of the nominated works below.

Molly Tuttle has been nominated for two Grammy Awards: Best Americana Album for So Long Little Miss Sunshine and Best Americana Performance for the album track "That's Gonna Leave a Mark." The Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist's new solo album, recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce, marks a sonic departure from her recent work. The album of eleven originals and one cover (Icona Pop and Charli xcx’s “I Love It”) is a hybrid of pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, plus a murder ballad. Her virtuoso guitar work takes center stage on this album more than ever, and for the first time, she introduces her banjo playing into two of her recordings.

Alarm Will Sound has been nominated for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance for Donnacha Dennehy's Land of Winter, for which Dennehy is up for Best Contemporary Classical Composition. Land of Winter, performed by the composer's longtime collaborators Alarm Will Sound and conductor Alan Pierson, explores the subtleties of Ireland’s seasons via twelve connected sections representing the months of the year. "It is the varying quality of light that truly demarcates the seasons," Dennehy says, "from the shorter days of grey or piercing light in the winter to the warmer but mercurial light of summer days that at solstice stretch almost to midnight. I like this play between light and time, and it is the major inspiration behind the piece."

Grammy winners Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson have been nominated for Best Folk Album for What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow, which reunites the two former Carolina Chocolate Drops bandmates. Produced by Giddens and Joseph "joebass" DeJarnette, the album features Giddens on banjo and Robinson on fiddle, playing eighteen of their favorite North Carolina tunes. Many were learned from their late mentor, legendary North Carolina Piedmont musician Joe Thompson; one is from another musical hero, the late Etta Baker. Giddens and Robinson recorded outdoors at Thompson’s and Baker’s North Carolina homes, as well as the former plantation Mill Prong House, accompanied by the sounds of nature, including two different broods of cicadas, which had not emerged simultaneously since 1803, creating a true once-in-a-lifetime soundscape.

Composer and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire has been nominated for Best Alternative Jazz Album for honey from a winter stone. The album, which he calls a “self-portrait,” features improvisational vocalist Kokayi, pianist Sam Harris, Chiquitamagic on synthesizer, drummer Justin Brown, and the Mivos Quartet. “For arguably the most technically gifted trumpeter of his generation, a lot of Ambrose Akinmusire’s breakthroughs actually come from letting go of standards and structures," says the New York Times. "Lately Akinmusire has been making some of the most intimate, spellbinding music of his career.”

Grammy-winning pianist and composer Brad Mehldau been nominated for Best Alternative Jazz Album for Ride into the Sun. The album, a songbook record of music by the late singer, songwriter, and guitarist Elliott Smith, features performances by singer/guitarist Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear, singer/mandolinist Chris Thile, bassists Felix Moseholm and John Davis, drummer Matt Chamberlain, and a chamber orchestra led by Dan Coleman. The album's ten Elliott Smith songs are complemented by four Mehldau compositions inspired by him and interpretations of Big Star’s “Thirteen,” which Smith also covered, and “Sunday” by Nick Drake, whom Mehldau sees "in some ways as sort of Smith’s visionary grandfather.”

Grammy-winning writer Bob Mehr has been nominated for Best Album Notes for Wilco's A Ghost Is Born (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition). This 9-LP + 4 CD Deluxe Edition of Wilco's 2004 Grammy-winning album A Ghost Is Born includes the original album, alternates, outtakes, and demos, charting the making of the album, plus the complete 2004 concert recording from Boston’s Wang Center and the band’s “fundamentals” workshop sessions. The deluxe box includes 65 previously unreleased music tracks as well as a 48-page hardcover book with previously unpublished photos and a new liner notes by Grammy-winning writer Bob Mehr. “Another engrossing, unorthodox record," said Mojo. "With the low-key yet magnificent A Ghost Is Born Tweedy's offering plenty more reasons to believe in the redemptive powers of Wilco.” "Spectacular," Uncut exclaimed. "Their most engaging album yet." Mehr won the award for his notes for the band's 2022 set Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition).

The 68th Grammy Awards will be broadcast from Los Angeles on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday, February 1, 2026, beginning at 8pm ET.
