2026 GRAMMY NOMINATED RECORD RECORDED @ NARWHAL!

STANDARD STOPPAGES by Chicago’s Third Coast Percussion has been nominated for TWO GRAMMIES:

STANDARD STOPPAGES is up for Best Classical Composition, Best Engineered, Classical; and Producer of the Year, Classical (Judith Sherman). 

Chicago’s revered Third Coast Percussion recorded “Standard Stoppages” in Narwhal Studio A over October 1 & 2 and November 5-8 of 2024.

This record features TCP with renowned tabla maestro Zakir Hussain who passed away between the recording and release and a composition by Tigran Hamasyan

The interplay between TCP and Zakir was amazing. They combined Indian classical music and Western classical music in a groovy, accessible and time expanding way. TCP dedicated the record to Zakir and we are very thankful to be a part of it!
