Boston Music Awards – 2019 Winners
Well, another December is here and the BMAs kicked played out last night. Given that neither Ken nor myself live within reasonable driving distance to Boston any longer (and honestly aren’t really a “Boston publication” either) we sadly missed out on what was surely one hell of a party.
We are stoked to see friends Honeysuckle, Ward Hayden & The Outliers, Julie Rhodes, The Ballroom Thieves and Sean McLaughlin taking home those slick black metal towers.
Full list below and congrats to all who were nominated or took home a win last night…and a special congrats and thanks to the folks at the Boston Music Awards for fostering community and crushing the “support your local arts scene” game…
