Hey, Everybody. It’s that time of year again, and I’d appreciate it very much if you would take a minute to nominate me for the Houston Press Music Awards at the following link:
http://polls.houstonpress.com/polls/hou/musicawards2012/
Your votes have really made a difference in the past. Thanks to you all, I’ve made the short list several times, which meant I played well-paid showcases and got free advertising for my music in the Houston Press for weeks on end. This year, here are some categories where I could see myself:
Best Female Vocals
Best Songwriter
Best Folk
Best Americana
Best Country
The process is quick and easy, and the Houston Press is a reputable newsweekly that won’t use your email address for solicitation unless you check the boxes giving them permission to do so.
You don’t have to live in Houston to nominate me, by the way. But if you do, I’d love to see you out at Pizzitola’s BBQ this weekend. I’ll be there from 1-2:30 on Saturday, June 9 with my talented friend (the other Best Songwriter in town) Jimmy Pizzitola, whom I also recommend for Best Male Vocals. The New York Times recently called Pizzitola’s BBQ the best barbecue in Houston, and it’s a great place for a fun, family-style Saturday afternoon.
Y’all come!
