My words: Correction: Appears this particular song is not up for a Grammy, but it damn well should be.

These are his Grammy nominations:

Best Americana Performance for Horses

Best Americana Roots Song for Middle

Best Americana Album for Middle

Best Folk Album for Under The Powerlines April 24 – September 24

https://www.grammy.com/news/2026-grammys-nominations-full-winners-nominees-list

"Join ICE" is from his EP No Kings, and not from either of the nominated albums.Even though Under The Powerlines includes 63 songs from April through September of last year, and Jesse posted his video of "Join ICE" in August, it isn't on that album.
