Acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer, Anderson East, is nominated for “Best American Roots Performance” for his song “All On My Mind” at the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards. The awards ceremony will be broadcast on CBS live from Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Sunday, February 10 at 8:00pm ET/7:00pm CT

In support of the release, East will continue his “Encore World Tour” in 2019 with stops at Columbus’ Newport Music Hall, Cleveland’s House of Blues, Indianapolis’ The Vogue, Louisville’s Mercury Ballroom and Charlottesville’s Jefferson Theatre among several others. See below for complete details.

Encore was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb and recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio along with additional production at House of Blues and Farmland Studio. The album features eleven songs, including “All On My Mind,” “King For A Day” and “Girlfriend” as well as renditions of songs by Ted Hawkins and Willie Nelson.

The release of Encore culminates a series of breakout years for East following his widely praised debut album, Delilah. In addition to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “Ellen,” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” East has also performed on “TODAY,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “CBS This Morning Saturday” and Daryl Hall’s “Live from Daryl’s House” and has lent his talents to several notable projects. He’s been featured on Dave Cobb’s Southern Family compilation, contributed a song to Brandi Carlile’s Cover Stories LP and crafted the original song, “What Would It Take,” for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack.
