On “music’s biggest night,” Seattle musicians proved their mettle by winning a combined six golden gramophones at the 61st Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

Singer-songwriter extraordinaire Brandi Carlile led the way with three honors (out of six nominations). Considering they were the only entries up for the major awards in their genre, it came as no surprise that her she captured the Best American Album<\/a> award for By the Way, I Forgive You<\/em>, while the song “The Joke” earned two trophies for Best American Roots Song<\/a> and Best American Roots <\/a>Performance<\/a>. She was bested by Kacey Musgraves for Album of the Year and Childish Gambino for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, but it’s still quite the haul.<\/p>\n

Carlile also played a live rendition of “The Joke” as part of the telecast on CBS<\/a>. The vocally-soaring and emotive performance drew rave reviews on Twitter from everyone from Sheryl Crow to Anna Kendrick to Gov. Jay Inslee.<\/p>\n

So. <\/p>\n

I am changed. <\/p>\n

My jaw is on the floor. Holy shit. #BrandiCarlile<\/a> #GRAMMYs<\/a><\/p>\n
