On Saturday Feb 9th, the Academy also presented Earl Scruggs with a Special Merit Award in recognition of his immense contributions to the music community at large and for his innovative 3-finger banjo style.
“The spirit of traditional Americana was also present at the ceremony. The video tribute to bluegrass pioneer Earl Scruggs illustrated his history-making invention of the three-finger picking style on the banjo. Accompanied by his sons, a typically unassuming Scruggs said that it was a real pleasure being there with friends and family.”Grammy® Website
