DMB Nominated Twice for Grammys
Dave Matthews Band has been nominated for two Grammy awards: Album of the Year and Best Rock Album for their latest studio release Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King.
For Best Rock Album, Dave Matthews Band is credited. Credited in DMB's nomination for the Album of the Year are:
- Rob Cavallo - Producer
- Chris Lord - Alge & Doug McKean - Engineers / Mixers
- Ted Jensen - Mastering Engineer
Big Whiskey was released June 2nd, 2009 which met the Grammy's criteria of recordings released between 10/1/2008 and 8/31/09.
The nominations come somewhat bittersweet after the Grammy's chose not to include LeRoi Moore in their video montage tribute to artists who passed during 2008. The loss was noted by major news outlets and also MTV.
Fans reacted angrily and both Dave Matthews and bassist Stefan Lessard exressed concern with the awards show on Twitter. Eventually the Grammy's were forced to remark in a public statement that LeRoi Moore was included in the printed program given to guests attending the awards show.
Weekly Davepseak congratulates all those involved in creating Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King along with the fans who have supported the band along the way. The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards is scheduled to air from Los Angeles on CBS on January 31st, 2010.
