GRAMMYS On The Hill Returns
• The Recording Academy® announced that the 2022 GRAMMYs on the Hill® Awards will return to our nation’s capital on Wed, April 27. For 20 years, GRAMMYs on the Hill has celebrated the intersection of music and politics, honoring congressional leaders and music creators who lead the fight for creators’ rights. This year’s artist honorees are renowned songwriters and producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who, after decades of working on iconic songs from artists like Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, and Boyz II Men, released their first album, Jam & Lewis: Volume One, last year.
The awards will also honor Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) and Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) 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 pandemic. Both Rep. Deutch and Rep. McCaul have been tireless champions for music and its makers, most recently serving as sponsors or co-sponsors of the American Music Fairness Act, the Help Independent Tracks Succeed (HITS) Act, the PEACE Through Music Diplomacy Act, and other pro-music legislation introduced in the 117th Congress. Additional special guests will be announced at a later date.
The awards dinner and presentation will take place at the Hamilton Live in Washington, D.C., with live performances from the musical honorees and additional special guests TBA. City National Bank is the official sponsor, and the GRAMMY Museum® is the beneficiary.
