Combing through tonight’s GRAMMY nominations it was exciting to see New Orleans’ own Rebirth Brass Band getting their 2nd nomination in as many years, as well as a substantial amount of artists we’ve been lucky enough to cover at shows around town in 2011. Other New Orleans-linked nominees are Lake Charles resident Lucinda Williams, Ledisi (3 nominations), frequent Jazz Fest performer Marcia Ball, local zydeco artist C.J. Chenier and Louisiana music mainstays Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys. Take a look down below, as we’ve included the artists, category nominated and venue/date information for their New Orleans show (and a few from ACL) with a link to our coverage.
