PLEASE, HAMMER, DON'T HURT 'EM

2/7's Spotify Best New Artists Grammy party at L.A.'s Hammer Museum drew an enormous throng of industry heavy hitters and forward-looking music fans. Unfortunately for Spotify Global Programming Head of Country Music John Marks, it also drew HITS' Worst Old Artist, Simon Glickman, who corralled the streaming influencer into this photo op. John was very psyched to witness all the performances, especially BNA contender Margo Price, whose music he's helped to boost. Simon, meanwhile, hopes to have a beard like John's someday—if he ever starts growing whiskers.
