Silk Sonic kicked off the Grammys tonight (April 3) with a special, pyrotechnic-filled performance of “777.” Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars donned sparkly white get-ups and performed with a full band and horn section to start the ceremony. They also interpolated James Brown’s “Get On Up.” Watch it all go down below.
Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars made their TV debut as Silk Sonic at last year’s Grammys, performing “Leave the Door Open” after an extensive, joke-filled campaign to get on the show. They’re nominated for four awards this year thanks to “Leave the Door Open” from their debut album An Evening With Silk Sonic: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance, and Best R&B Song.
