Madison Area Music Awards to announce nominations Saturday at The Brink
We blogged here a little while back about how some unlikely local bands have entered themselves in the runnings for the annual Madison Area Music Awards, and we'll discover soon how that pans out for them. MAMAs nominations—based on a first round of voting that narrows down the entrants—will be announced during a Saturday party at the Brink Lounge. The $10 cover and a silent auction will help raise some cash for the MAMAs' charitable endeavors to support music education, and such local acts as pop-country band Madison County and singer-songwriter Beth Kille will be performing. Call us over-optimistic nerdballs if you wish, but wouldn't it be cool to see local acts like Buried Future and El Valiente get some props in such a setting? Why yes, yes it would. After the nominees are out, fans will be able to vote on the actual winners, which will be announced at a May 8 ceremony at the Capitol Theater.
