First ever Kootenay Music Awards Friday at The Royal
By Contributor
The first ever Kootenay Music Awards are set to take place Friday (March 30) at The Royal on Baker.
For the past two months nominations have been submitted, short listed by a panel of five industry professionals, and voted on by the public at kootenayquickshot.com.
More than 8000 votes have been cast not including the ballot boxes that will be
picked up this week.
Voting concluded Monday at midnight.
All the online buzz has artists seeing between 500-2500 listens on their Soundcloud accounts.
A lot of people listening to new, locally produced music from right here in the Kootenays; meaning great exposure for the artists and new music for fans.
The goal of the night isn’t so much to pick winners, but to celebrate the entire community that adds so much to our quality of life here in the Kootenays. A night to celebrate the fan in all of us.
Performances for the night will include Clinton Swanson, Stellar Radio Choir, Rhoneil, Skidney and Sleazel and Vs. With Savage Blade set to close the night down at the after-party.
Doors open at 8 p.m. with the awards concluding at 11 p.m.
