|
||
WHEREAS, Members of the Recording Academy Texas Chapter are | ||
celebrating the rich musical heritage of our state with Texas Music | ||
Advocacy Day on March 30, 2021; 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, Norah Jones, | ||
the Black Pumas, 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, and this year, 23 music | ||
professionals who were born or live in Texas have received 37 | ||
nominations at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in March 2021; and | ||
WHEREAS, Before the pandemic, more than 210,000 jobs were | ||
tied to the music industry in Texas, and each year, live music | ||
festivals have generated 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 House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize March 30, 2021, as Texas Music | ||
Advocacy Day and extend sincere best wishes to the members of the | ||
Recording Academy Texas Chapter. |
