Lady Antebellum can expect to hear their name called as nominees, and possibly winners, throughout the Grammys show Sunday night. They’re up for six Grammys, including three in all-genre categories: album, record and song of the year.

The Zac Brown Band go into Sunday’s Grammys with four nominations including best country album for “You Get What You Give.” Also nominated for best country album are Dierks Bentley, “Up on the Ridge,” Jamey Johnson for “The Guitar Song,” Lady Antebellum for “Need You Now” and Miranda Lambert for “Revolution.”

Country performers at the Grammy’s include Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert. Martina McBride will be a part of the Aretha Franklin tribute. More performers could be announced over the weekend leading up to the show on Sunday.

Presenters are being named up until the last minute. Nominees Zac Brown and Keith Urban have been added as presenters. So have Ryan Seacrest and Jennifer Lopez of “American Idol.” Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers will present, too. They join presenters who’ve already been announced like Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Miley Cyrus, Jewel and Kris Kristofferson.

The Grammys air on CBS.

Add Martina McBride to the long list of folks who will honor Aretha Franklin during the Grammy Awards this Sunday. Other performing in the tribute will include Yolanda Adams, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and Florence Welch. It’s nice to see country music represented in a tribute to such an icon.
