The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards were presented on January, 31, 2010 in Los Angeles. Out of the 15 nominees who recorded at Avatar, Bruce Springsteen won Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for "Working On A Dream" (see his video shot in Avatar's Studio C) and Brendan O'Brien, who produced the album, won Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. We would like to congratulate them both as well as all the nominees.
