| 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 upcoming 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize March 30, 2021, as Texas Music | ||
| Advocacy Day and extend sincere best wishes to the members of the | ||
