After making their live debut at last year’s GRAMMY Awards, Silk Sonic kicked off the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards with an epic performance.
On Sunday, April 3, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak opened the star-studded awards ceremony with a performance of the award-winning track, “777,” from their debut album, An Evening with Silk Sonic.
Mars, on guitar, and .Paak, on drums, performed the catchy Las Vegas anthem wearing Elvis Presley-esque outfit.
