Vermont Folk Singer Featured on a Grammy Nominated CD

Hinesburg song writer and author Rik Palieri is one of thirty artists featured on the Grammy Nominated CD , "Singing Through the Hard Times, a Tribute To Utah Phillips", in the Best Traditional Folk category. Rik said " I knew when I was asked to record one of Utah's songs for this CD, that I was working on something of value, but I never expected anything like this! It is a huge honor to be on this project as it features such legends as Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, Jean Richie, Emmylou Harris & Ani DiFranco plus many of Utah's near and dear friends. This whole CD is a wonderful tribute to a man who kept the flame of hope burning, now perhaps with this CD we can carry on and keep his light bright for the future." The Grammys will take place on January 31st.
