The first round of Grammy nominations have been released and Everything Happens For A Reason is on the voting ballot! That’s really exciting especially since this has been a completely DIY project without the support of a traditional record label. Of course, it helped to have an amazingly talented team of people involved with all aspects of the production of the CD. And since this is Carly’s first full studio project, that makes it even more incredible.
Here’s the rundown of the nominations:
Producer Of The Year, Non-classical: Tres Sasser (Everything Happens For A Reason)
Best Engineered Album, Non-classical: David Henry, Vance Powell, Richard Dodd (Everything Happens For A Reason)
Best Americana Album: Everything Happens For A Reason
Best New Artist: Carly Jamison
Best Rock Performance: Doubt
Best Rock Song: Bring It On
Best Rock Song: Look Where It’s Coming From
Best Rock Song: No Control Anymore
Song Of The Year: Ask Me If I Give A Shit
Album Of The Year: Everything Happens For A Reason
