The 2024 Grammy Awards are less than two weeks away. Winning one of the Recording Academy’s awards is one of the highest honors a musician in any genre can receive. As a result, the show always has a star-studded lineup of performers. This year is no different. Last week, the Recording Academy announced its first group of performers. Yesterday (January 22), they added even more star power to the roster.

Combs will have some stiff competition. Other nominees in the Best Country Solo Performance category include “In Your Love” by Tyler Childers, “Buried” by Brandy Clark, “The Last Thing on My Mind” by Dolly Parton, and “White Horse” by Chris Stapleton.
The Songwriter of the Year features some country star power as well. Shane McAnally and Jessie Jo Dillon, both Nashville songwriters with hits under their belts, are up for the award.
Country and Americana artists are also competing for the all-genre Best New Artist Award. Country artists The War and Treaty and Jelly Roll are both up for the trophy. Additionally, folk-leaning singer/songwriter Noah Kahan is competing for the award.
