Special Look: Sturgill Simpson & The Dap-Kings Rehearse For Grammys Performance

Sturgill [CBS]

His album “A Sailor’s Guide To Earth” is up for Album Of The Year at Sunday’s Grammy Awards.

Sturgill Simpson will also be taking the stage at “Music’s Biggest Night.”

He prepared for his performance during a rehearsal session Friday. The Dap-Kings, who contributed to numerous tracks on Simpson’s album, participated in the rehearsal — and will presumably be joining Simpson during Sunday’s performance.

To be hosted by James Corden, the 59th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony begins at 8PM ET/5PM PT this Sunday.

Sturgill Simpson and The Dap-Kings perform during rehearsals for THE 59TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS®, scheduled to broadcast live from the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Sunday, Feb. 12 (8:00-11:30 PM, live ET/5:00-8:30 PM, live PT; 6:00-9:30 PM, live MT) on the CBS Television Network.
