Back in 2017, I wrote a blog post about that time I got to attend the Grammys. With the Grammys happening this Sunday, I thought I would reshare this post.
I'm cozy in my seat at 37,000 feet on a flight to LA for my first Grammys.
I'm two glasses of wine in, the sunset on the horizon is a spectacular array of red+amber, my Chicago coat snuggled around me, earbuds in my ears, enraptured by the sounds of Jesca Hoop's "The Lost Sky" which I've had on repeat about 20 times now -- the perfect setting to write. There's something about writing my blog from the air on an evening flight. The low-hum drone of jet engines, everyone around me cozied in as well, headphones on, reading, sleeping, working... it's peaceful up here with far less distractions; we're more grounded than on the ground.

With ten years in the music business under my belt, I figured I'd probably never get to go. When he handed over the tickets I went numb. My mind flooded with the list of nominees, who'd be performing, the parties, the celebs who will be in that room, my fave James Cordon as MC, and most of all: my fabulous favorite newcomer band whom I've been promoting since I heard their first note and predicted they would skyrocket: The Record Company! I'd be there to see them and support them, amongst the heavy hitters in whose company they'll be: Beyonce, ADELE, Chance the Rapper, Keith Urban, to name a few.
