The Recording Academy™ announced this morning that Night Street/Interscope recording artistK.Flay has been nominated for two GRAMMY® nominations for Best Rock Song ("Blood In The Cut")and Best Engineered Album, Non Classical ("Every Where Is Some Where").

K.Flay's GRAMMY® nominated single "Blood In The Cut" - from her Billboard No. 1 Heatseekers debut album "Every Where Is Some Where" - was a breakout hit, amassing over a quarter million track equivalent units in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music, and spending more than 6 months on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs chart, peaking at #4. The song was certified GOLD in Canada and reached #1 in the Canadian Alternative charts. Speaking of her nominations this morning, K.Flay said: "This is such an incredible honor. Thank you to everyone involved with the record - I absolutely couldn't have done it without you."

Selected from more than 22,000 submissions across 84 categories, the nominations showcase some of the most gifted music makers of the past awards year (Oct. 1, 2016-Sept. 30, 2017). As the only peer-selected music award, the GRAMMY is voted on by the Recording Academy's membership body of music makers, who represent all genres and creative disciplines, including recording artists, songwriters, producers, mixers, and engineers.

The Recording Academy will present the GRAMMY Awards® on Sunday, Jan. 28, 2018, live fromMadison Square Garden in New York City.

In other news, K.Flay's recently announced 2018 headlining tour across North America continues to sell out. The Every Where Is Some Where Tour officially begins on January 11th in Santa Ana, taking her to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Chicago, Nashville and more. She will be joined by Sir Sly and YUNGBLUD as support.

K.Flay will also be touring across Europe with Imagine Dragons for their European leg of the EVOLVE World Tour, as well as a number of her own headlining shows in including dates in Berlin, Copenhagen, St. Petersburg, Moscow and more. For a full list of tour dates see below.

Earlier this year, K.Flay released her debut album "Every Where Is Some Where" which debuted at #1 in the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and boasts powerful tracks such as "High Enough," "Blood In The Cut," "Black Wave" and her current single "Giver," which continues to climb at radio. Watch the inventive new lyric video for "Giver" HERE.

In support of her critically acclaimed release, the Illinois-born, Los Angeles based artist has made late night television appearances on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers and TBS' Conan and has received critical praise from The New York Times and Pitchfork thanks to her fearlessly detailed lyrics and socio-political commentary. "Every Where Is Some Where" (released April 7, 2017) is her most deliberate and dynamic work yet, and is a thrillingly vital album that channels the frenzy and anxieties of today's world but ultimately exhilarates.
