| WHEREAS, Members of the Recording Academy Texas Chapter | ||
| are visiting Austin on February 26, 2019, to celebrate Grammy | ||
| Texas Music Advocacy Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The birthplace of Texas country, Tejano, and | ||
| other distinctive styles, the Lone Star State has a history of | ||
| producing music in a vast range of genres, and such talented | ||
| artists as Beyoncé, Gary Clark Jr., Flaco Jimenez, George Strait, | ||
| and Willie Nelson have all called Texas home; and | ||
| WHEREAS, To serve the state's vibrant music community, the | ||
| Recording Academy, the organization responsible for the Grammy | ||
| Awards, established a Texas chapter in 1998; at the 61st Annual | ||
| Grammy Awards in 2019, music professionals from Texas received 48 | ||
| nominations and won 12 awards, including Album of the Year by | ||
| Golden native Kacey Musgraves; and | ||
| WHEREAS, An integral part of the Texas economy, the music | ||
| industry is tied to more than 160,000 jobs throughout the state, | ||
| and each year, live music festivals generate hundreds of millions | ||
| of dollars in economic activity; as a reflection of its support for | ||
| this important commercial sector, the Texas Legislature created | ||
| the Texas Music Office, which opened its doors in 1990; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The innovative musicians of the Lone Star State | ||
| are furthering an exceptional legacy of artistic achievement, | ||
| and in so doing, they are making a notable contribution to the | ||
| culture and economy of Texas; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize February 26, 2019, as Grammy Texas | ||
| Music Advocacy Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome | ||
| to the visiting members of the Recording Academy Texas Chapter. | ||
