Detroit Music Award Nominees Announced

The Motor City Music Foundation has just released the nominees for the 2008 Detroit Music Awards that covers just about every musical genre that is found in and around the city of Detroit. Now in it’s 17^th year, The DMA’s as they’re called, are the local music industries version of the American Music Awards, paralleling the AMA’s format. Over the past few weeks, Detroit’s local music industry types have been busy putting together the 3 phases of the award process, culminating April 25^th at the Annual DMA Show held at the State Theater (AKA The Fillmore-Detroit). From Country, Hip-Hop, Blues or Rock, whatever musical style you enjoy is well represented during the DMA’s, which not only focus on the “local scene”, but also reaches out to the numerous local music makers who are now moving in and around the National music scene. The Awards are determined by members of the Motor City Music Foundation who submit nominations, and in turn the official ballot is generated from. The DMA’s are not a popularity contest, but in fact is voted on only by local music industry types who must submit and be approved in order to gain membership into the MCMF. Remember that the actual awards shoe is open to the general public by purchasing tickets through the foundation or tickemaster locations. Always a fun time the awards show has been graced with appearances of some of Detroit’s biggest names in music like Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Anita Baker, and numerous members of the local music scene.
