The 2008 Jammie awards! A quick wrap-up and performance free for
download!
Even if you've never heard of our lovely little-big city of Grand
Rapids, we'd like to let you know we've got quite the bourgeoning
independent music scene...or maybe I should just say music scene in
general and not limit it to just independent. To prove that point,
we've got the annual Jammie Awards here in town thrown by our favorite
non-profit public radio WYCE 88.1. This year, despite the crazy-out-
of-no-where blizzard we had, was pretty awesome - 18
bands/artists showcased their talent, the beer flowed, the crowd loved
it, and I can't think of a better place to throw it than the recently
renovated Wealthy Theatre here in town. You name the genre, and we
had it. Seriously good stuff.
We were fortunate enough to have sponsored the event this year and part
of that sponsorship was being able to host for download each of the
artists live performances which can be found below...for free.
Some, but not all, of these artists use INDISTR as well, so if you find
something you like be sure to search around the site a bit to find
their full albums available for sale.
