The Levitt Foundation congratulates the 8 Levitt artists who won 12 GRAMMY Awards.

This past Sunday, the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards celebrated musical excellence and served as a powerful reminder of music’s ability to unite, heal, and inspire.  

The ceremony was held at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles and centered around wildfire relief and community resilience. Throughout the night, host Trevor Noah encouraged the audience and those at home to donate to MusiCares, the Recording Academy’s foundation that partnered with Direct Relief, the California Community Foundation, and the Pasadena Community Foundation to expand aid efforts.  

Commercial breaks also spotlighted local businesses impacted by the fires—with cameos from artists including Doja Cat and the Jonas Brothers—through donated ad spots. At the end of the show, Los Angeles County Fire Captain Sheila Kelliher Berkoh, joined by more than a dozen other firefighters, took the stage to hand the Album of the Year award to Beyoncé for Cowboy Carter. 

Over the course of the entire Grammy weekend, the Recording Academy and MusiCares raised more than $24 million—$9 million of which came from Sunday’s ceremony alone. 

Beyond raising awareness for the recent Southern California wildfires and helping with relief efforts, the GRAMMYs, as it does every year, recognized breakout musical excellence in performers working across styles and categories—including artists who have performed on Levitt stages across the country.  

Drawn from an impressive 36 nominations, 8 immensely talented Levitt artists took home a total of 12 awards.  

Sierra Ferrell’s four GRAMMY wins—the second-most of the night—recognized her status as a luminary in Americana and roots music. From her distinctive, genre-blending sound and imaginative storytelling to her magnetic stage presence, this grand sweep cemented her reputation for singular artistry and authenticity in popular music today.  

In another poignant moment, Grace Bowers, the 18-year-old guitarist who rocked Levitt AMP Middlesboro in 2024, performed Coldplay’s ballad “All My Love” with Chris Martin during the In Memoriam Tribute, honoring the artists, industry icons, and music legends we lost last year. 

The 2025 Levitt GRAMMY cohort spans from first time winners to all stars of the Recording Academy: Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band, Ruthie Foster, Sheila E., Sierra Ferrel, and Tank and the Bangas each celebrated their first wins; Billy Strings took home his second Best Bluegrass Album award; and Samara Joy continues her winning streak, landing all 5 of her career nominations since earning the prized Best New Artist award in 2023.
