NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - On musicâs biggest night, several Louisiana and New Orleans natives won big.
Due to COVID-19, most of the Grammy awards were given before the television awards show. The New Orleans Nightcrawlers Brass Band won during the pre-show. Itâs the first win for the band after releasing its first new record in a decade, earning the Grammy for Best Regional Roots.
âIt just took me a second to realize, âoh wait a minute that was us,ââ said sousaphonist Matt Perrine. âThe first thing I did was look at Craig and said, âwe won.ââ
