Rebirth Brass Band to Help the Internet PreGame the Grammys


We've been hearing for a while now about the Grammy-nominated Rebirth Brass Band. But, this Sunday, the 6th Ward originals (in addition to Steve Riley and CJ Chenier) will find out if they can replace that title with "Grammy winning." The Best Roots Music Album category will be decided during the music industry awards pre-show. Today, the Grammys announced Rebirth will play the pre-show. Treme guest star Steve Earle and a Ladies of Gospel segment will also be featured in the 68-category segment, which is live streamed on the Web. Tube in at 3 p.m.!
