Austin Music Blogger Awards Tonight

The 2014 Austin Music Blogger Awards are tonight, I am excited to celebrate some of our favorite music of 2013 with the public as well as this strong community of artists! If you haven’t bought tickets, get them here now. I’m incredibly proud of our Austin Music Blogger Alliance member Nathan Lankford, who wrote this piece, and I wholeheartedly believe in fostering the spirit of community about which Nathan speaks in his post. The human kindness he displayed, and displays, on a regular basis in this city should be recognized and celebrated. From my life experiences, I’ve come to believe that families of choice have the ability to sustain individuals and even to transcend the vitality of traditional families. I’m thankful to be part of this big family that Austin’s music community has become for me. I look forward to seeing all your familiar faces at the show tonight. In looking forward tonight, here’s a track/video from each of the entities nominated for Solo Artist of the Year, Best Album, and Best Band.
