Last month the Native American Music Association announced top nominees for 2021 and once again GroovaLottos were on the ticket.

The GroovaLottos, a multi-Grammy nominated band, were nominated as Best Group/Duo of the Year. Joining the Mashpee Wampanoag GroovaLottos are Blackbird (Cherokee/Dakota/Yaqui), Black Lodge Singers (Blackfeet), Crazy Flute (Cherokee), Eagle & Hawk Liberty (Ojibway), The Ripcords (Onondaga Nation), Twin Flames (Inuit, Mohawk/Metis), and Young Spirit.

Public voting began on January 21 and will end on March 31, 2022. This will determine the finalists and winners for each category. For the complete list of nominees visit the Native American Music Awards website. The award show will be virtual due to the ongoing pandemic and is tentatively scheduled for the spring.
