RECORDING ACADEMY® Celebrates 20th Anniversary of event uniting Congress with grammy® winners and nominees
WHAT: On April 27, the Recording Academy® will once again bring together representatives from the worlds of music and politics in person at the annual GRAMMYs on the Hill® Awards, benefiting the GRAMMY Museum® and sponsored by City National Bank. The Awards will recognize five-time GRAMMY®-winning songwriters and producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who have been instrumental in defining the sound of pop music for decades. Reps. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) and Michael McCaul (R-Texas) will also be honored for their leadership in supporting the rights of music creators, especially as those in the music industry work to recover from the devastating effects of the past couple years.
The following day, April 28, the Recording Academy will host the annual GRAMMYs on the Hill Advocacy Day, Capitol Hill's largest and most prestigious legislative event for music creators, which brings GRAMMY winners and nominees, along with other esteemed industry leaders, to Washington, D.C., to meet with lawmakers. Participants will rally on behalf of legislation supported by this year's congressional honorees including the American Music Fairness Act (AMFA), Help Independent Tracks Succeed (HITS) Act and PEACE Through Music Diplomacy Act, each a vital continuation of ongoing music policy progress.
WHO:
* Musical Honorees: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (Creators Leadership Award).
* Congressional Honorees: Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) and Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas).

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
