Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 17 and plan on bringing nothing but unending support for your favorite local musicians. That’s when the Steamtown Music Awards return for its second wind.
The gathering provides an opportunity for musicians to appreciate each other, said nominee Jay Preston of Esta Coda. “Acknowledgement of our local music scene is important,” he said. “The talent involved in it makes us all proud to be part of it.”
In response to feedback, event co-founder Joe Caviston said this year’s award ceremony separated and added categories to better reflect the current state of the NEPA music scene. Added categories include Radio Station, Music Journalist, Music Publication and Recording Studio of the Year. Split categories include DJ/Electronic Act and Americana/Jazz/Jam Act of the Year. They’ll now serve as separate divisions.
Indie Rock Act Of The Year • Esta Coda
Male Vocalist Of The Year • Jay Preston, Esta Coda.
Everyone is invited to come and support this local young man.
