The Recording Academy Announce 2020 GRAMMY Winners
By Michelle Golden January 26, 2020
The music community and Recording Academy came together to celebrate music’s biggest night at the 62nd annual GRAMMY Awards. The Orchard was proud to see over 50 nominations from artists and labels we distribute across a wide range of genres. Congratulations to all our artists, labels, and partners who went home with an iconic gold gramophone trophy!
The pre-GRAMMY telecast revealed many winners and featured incredibly talented performers, with Imogen Heap taking the stage to host the pre-show. Following, superstar and 15x GRAMMY winner Alicia Keys returned as the host for the second year in a row at The Staples Center in Los Angeles. She serenaded the crowd on the piano while singing a compilation of the year’s most-talked about music moments from the past year. Jim Gaffigan was among other notable presenters throughout the evening.
The live broadcast presented major categories like Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Country Duo/Group Performance, and Best Comedy Album going to Dave Chapelle (which Jim Gaffigan joked about on stage), with many category winners announced during the pre-telecast.
