My favorite singer-songwriter — who performed one of her amazing house parties for me recently — is being nominated for a Grammy music award. You can help her win it. Here’s what Michelle Malone asks in her recent newsletter:
After 20 years of recording and touring with other wonderfully talented Grammy winners like John Mayer and Indigo Girls, I finally made it onto the Grammy ballot with my 9th CD “Sugar Foot” – I might finally win a GRAMMY!!
And you can help!
I need your vote to remain on the contemporary blues ballot. Please help spread the word! It’s really important to me. If you have any time to send out a few emails to any friends you may have who might be voting NARAS members, I would greatly appreciate it! Let’s win one for the independents!
*Remember, votes must be in by Wed NOV 7th**
In Gratitude,
Michelle Malone

“Sugarfoot is as raw, magnificent, dirty and low down as anything you’ll ever wanna hear in blues music – our blues-breaker CD for the week”
– Dan “Elwood” Aykroyd, House of Blues Radio Hour
“Adventurous, slithery and ebullient slide – sings and plays with cool confidence throughout ala Bonnie Raitt and Shelby Lynn” – The Blues Revue
“Malone’s “Sugarfoot will take you down to the crossroads and send you back dazed, disheveled and half-naked.”—Harp
“Sugarfoot is a Top 10 blues release of 2006 – Malone’s rich vocals blew me away. Bonnie Raitt you better start sweating now. Great range, too. She’s bursting with attitude and stomping like a prettier Janis Joplin – straight up slide guitar rock that’ll “drop you to your knees” It’s pure ear candy with a shot of Bourbon.” – The Blues Critic
“Dirty south, bluesy rock. Sweet slide guitar. You’ll feel the earth move under your bare feet – a Top 50 release of 2006” – Pop Matters
“Malone’s gritty, emotive vocals and sinewy arrangements that most emphatically define her. She wails like the devil’s on her tail, but she isn’t waiting for Satan to catch up before she catches fire” – Amplifier Magazine
“Sugarfoot mixes grit, sass, soul and some sweet balladry into such a kick-butt collection, you’d think she was the daughter of George Thorogood and Susan Tedeschi.” -Star Tribune(Minneapolis)
“Generally stripped-back, but featuring terrific support, Michelle Malone is as well-rounded as she is supremely talented.” –Hittin’ the Note

I’m sorry to ask this but I’m not sure how to vote?
I didn’t get it from the post. Did I miss it?
