Vance Powell one of my friends from Nashville won a Grammy Yesterday!

Unless you knew someone, or are just totally obsessed with the Grammy’s you probably didn’t see him. But you see that stylish dude with the killer beard? That’s my dude Vance accepting his Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The album that won was The Raconteurs “Consoler’s of the Lonely”.

Here’s his wife Di and daughter Tia in the audience.

Di’s the one with her hands together sitting down next to Tia who’s taking a picture.

I met Vance and his wife Di in Nashville back in 2005 when I was recording “Tide” with Mitch Dane. Vance was also the guy who just recently finished mixing “eightynine” my newest album that should be coming out sometime this year.

Anyways, Vance and Di are some of the coolest most hospitable people I know. Vance is an amazingly talented engineer and I’m pumped that he’s getting the recognition he deserves.
