The Black Keys – Akron natives Pat Carney, son of BJ
reporter Jim Carney, and Pat’s fellow Firestone High graduate Dan Auerbach – got
six Grammy nominations, the same number they got last year when they received
four Grammys:
Record
of the year, “Lonely Boy.”
Album
of the year, “El Camino.”
Best
rock album, “El Camino.”
Producer
of the year for Pat, including work with Dr. John and Hacienda.
Best
rock performance, “Lonely Boy.”
Best
rock song, “Lonely Boy.”
Their “Lonely Boy” video on YouTube has
more than 20 million hits and has been used on TV shows and in commercials.
The Black Keys have toured Europe,
Australia and North America and performed on “Saturday Night Live.” Their rise has been meteoric since they recorded “The Big
Come Up” on an 8-track in the Carney basement in 2002. Pat and Dan grew up around the corner from each other.
Pat Carney married Emily Ward in
September in Nashville, where they live. Jim Carney is married to Katie Byard,
also a BJ reporter.
