Members of the MTSU community came together on the rooftop of the Mama Shelter hotel in Los Angeles, California on Saturday (Feb. 4) for their traditional pre-Grammy Awards gathering to celebrate five former students who were nominated, including sound engineer Brandon Bell, whom they honored with a special certificate.

Due to his work on Brandi Carlile’s In These Silent Days, the 2004 recording industry graduate earned nominations for Album of the Year and Record of the Year. The album took home Best Americana Album at this year’s awards.

Additionally, Bell has engineered projects for artists including Amythyst Kiah, Zac Brown Band and The Lonely Island as well as the Steep Canyon Rangers, whose bluegrass album won him a Grammy in 2013.

“Brandon has been doing important work for years, so I am delighted that he received multiple nominations for this year’s Grammy Awards,” shared MTSU College of Media & Entertainment Dean Beverly Keel. “He is building a body of work that is shaping popular music and will stand the test of time.”

Keel and MTSU College of Media & Entertainment President Sidney A. McPhee presented Bell with the honor during the event.
