Nashville NARAS honors its own

The Nashville Chapter of the Recording Academy held a gala awards presentation on Monday, November 7, to honor four creative artists within the Nashville area. The Academy, who sponsors the annual Grammy Awards, honored Alison Krauss, Earl Scruggs, Tim McGraw and The Winans at Monday’s event, which also included a silent auction to raise funds for Academy programs to aid struggling artists.
