The Black Keys, the blues-rock duo from Akron, are officially ”the Grammy-winning” blues-rock duo as their album won four awards on Sunday evening.
Drummer Patrick Carney and singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach took the stage twice in dark matching suits during the Grammy pre-telecast show streamed online at Grammy.com to thank friends, family and the city of Akron.

The band took home its first two Grammys for best alternative music album for Brothers and best rock performance by a duo or group with vocals for the single Tighten Up. Carney’s brother, Michael Carney, also won his first Grammy in best recording package for his art direction on Brothers.
