Congratulations to Ibrahim Maalouf for earning a GRAMMY nomination for Best Global Music Performance for his song “Todo Colores” featuring Tank & the Bangas and Cimafunk. This is the French-Lebanese trumpeter/composer and global music star’s second career GRAMMY nomination. Last year he earned his first nomination for Best Global Album for Queen Of Sheba, created with Angelique Kidjo.

Fresh off a "Best Bluegrass Album" GRAMMY Nomination, Mighty Poplar is headed out on the road in Winter 2024. Bringing together Andrew Marlin from Watchhouse, Noam Pikelny and Chris Eldridge from Punch Brothers, and Greg Garrison (Leftover Salmon), Mighty Poplar was formed as a vehicle for these artists to explore their love of improvisation through bluegrass. Legendary bluegrass fiddler Stuart Duncan will be joining them on tour!
