First, I would like to congratulate all the nominees at this year’s All Access Magazine Music Awards Show. To be recognized for your talent means that you have already won! Be proud, whether you go home with a plaque or not on Sat. November 3rd at the Knitting Factory feel honored and proud of your accomplishments. Know someone is watching and cares about your music career.

AAM receives hundreds of submissions every year, all year long. But only 5-7 are chosen for each category! Why? Because any more than that would be a popularity contest. Yes, you had to submit in order to be considered. BUT that doesn’t mean you automatically were entered. A panel of judges still looked over all the categories and went through every CD that was submitted.

I had a lot of inquires form bands wanting to perform at the Awards Show this year. Thank you. I was honored to be asked and wish I had room for all of you. Unfortunately, I only could choose nine. So please don’t feel YOUR band wasn’t good enough. NO, I don’t believe in “pay to play”, it wasn’t about the money. I was just looking for new groups as I do every year. Because I can’t be everywhere, and with the help of my writers and photographers, they passed on your CD and package to me. So keep ‘em coming because this is only our 5th Awards Show and we have plenty more to do!!!

VOTING, now that’s up to you to help get the word out. Your fans, family and friends, vote, vote, and vote, once a day if they want to. Deadline for voting ends October 30th! The results will be announced Sat. November 3rd at the Knitting Factory- Hollywood. Tickets are available HERE $15.00 pre-sale or $20.00 at the door. The Awards Show will begin promptly at 6:50 and you Don’t Want To Miss One Minute Of This Star-Studded Event...
