Some creative endeavors take time to reach completion. In this case it took 7 years to reach that goal, and the time invested is proving to be well worth the wait. Earlier this month, Jon Petronzio an unsigned and independent musician from Ithaca, NY, received some most unexpected news. Out of 21,000 submissions, Jon’s album - titled “Light at the Speed of Life” under the moniker of Road Man - was added to the 58th Grammy Awards ballot and is currently a contender in two categories: Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album. In Jon’s own words, “Although I’m up against some of the biggest names in music, I remain optimistic. Even at this point, I’ve already achieved more than I could have ever dreamed”. Being considered for such a prestigious award is no small feat, and the Ithaca community has been rallying behind him since the announcement. Everyone loves to see the underdog arise from obscurity to be recognized for their excellence and it seems like Road Man may have a bright future ahead. The nominations will be announced in mid December and the 58th Grammy Awards will air on CBS on February 16’th 2016 at 8/7c.
