With 17 Grammys, five gold records and — by his count — almost 130 albums, polka superstar Jimmy Sturr might just be the most successful musician you’ve never heard of.
Sturr and his orchestra, superstars in the polka world, are one of a multitude of musical acts nominated this year in some of the lesser-known Grammy categories. When there are 110 categories, "lesser-known" might be putting it lightly.
"I try not to get too worked up over it," said Sturr, who is once again nominated this year in the best polka album category. "But when the [awards] season comes along I am right there saying ‘I hope I win. I hope I win.’ It just never gets old."
