On this show we’ll spend a little time in the winners circle and play some of the artists from the Americana world who took home statuettes from the Grammy Awards the other night. Artists like Sierra Ferrell, Beyoncé, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, and Chris Stapleton. We also celebrated the 78th birthday of Texas singer/songwriter Joe Ely.
