On the eve of the 65th Grammy Awards, Nashville-based Tennessee State University’s Aristocrat of Bands was in Atlanta to compete at the Hbcu All-Star Battle of the Bands against schools like North Carolina A&t, Alabama State, and Bethune-Cookman. The student musicians took the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for their turn and, before their high-stepping performance began, they quickly formed into the shape of a Grammy statuette.
It was a mighty flex, but they were certainly the only band in the building who could say they had a Grammy nomination.

If you have an Amazon Prime account and trust one of the world’s most prolific writers, you may want to take a look at the indie flick Wade in the Water. According to Stephen King, it’s very much worth a watch, as he enthusiastically stated on his Twitter account last week when he called it “a little movie with a big heart.”
King points out that the pic is devoid of any major special effects or expensive sets, but he makes note of the performances of the film’s two leads, Tom E. Nicholson and Danika Golembek. Luckily, he isn’t alone in thinking it’s a fantastic movie, either, as critics have praised it for its intimate storytelling and compelling writing, so it’s one that you may not want to sleep on.
