55th GRAMMY Awards: Country Music, Folk, and Americana 2013 Winners

11 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on 55th GRAMMY Awards: Country Music, Folk, and Americana 2013 Winners

At last night’s 55th GRAMMY Awards many artists took home awards. While there were several acts who did very well indeed (hello, The Black Keys), there wasn’t anyone who totally dominated in the way we have seen in previous years. The big award, Album of the Year, went to Mumford & Sons‘ 2012 release Babel (and deservedly so).  Zac Brown Band, Little Big Town, and Carrie Underwood were the country music winners, with ‘Blown Away’‘s songwriters Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins being honored as well.

With UCN mainly focusing on a few music genres, below you will find the winners in the country, folk, and Americana genres. For a full list of GRAMMY winners, you can head over to The New York Times.
