Congratulations to Jon Batiste on his 2026 nominations for “Big Money” in both the Best Americana Album and Best American Roots Song categories, as well as for Best American Roots Performance on “Lonely Avenue”!

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities brought to me by producer/guitarist Nick Waterhouse for involving me in yet another Grammy-nominated project with Jon.

I am still pinching myself for receiving a Grammy for my contribution to Jon’s 2022 Album of the Year win for “We Are.”

It has been an absolute joy to witness Jon’s musical genius up close and personal, and to perform alongside such wonderfully gifted musicians and vocalists on this project

A New York City native, Roberta has toured worldwide, recording and performing with many of the world's most successful artists, such as Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, Joe Cocker, Engelbert Humperdinck and Mary Wilson of The Supremes, in hundreds of cities and more than 27 countries.
