It's award season! And while nominees can often seem like they're worlds away from us, this year Marin's own Steven Halpern will be vying for a GRAMMY®.

Halpern, who lives in San Anselmo, has been nominated in the Best New Age Album category, for his album Deep Alpha. The Recording Academy® San Francisco Chapter honored Halpern and other Bay Area nominees last week at the Regency Center.

Also nominated (though not in attendance) was legend and fellow Marinite Tom Waits.
