The Boston Music Award 2017 Winners
We were not able to attend the BMAs last evening but following along with everyone’s Instagrams and Facebook posts ensured our hearts that it was a rollicking good time. Filled with community and ripping guitar riffs.
We will keep it short and sweet, but just wanted to take a moment to thank the Boston Music Awards planners, board, committee, whatever you guys are calling it these days, for their dedication to hosting these every year. I can’t imagine the drain it is in the week’s leading up the to the event in terms of planning and resources to ensure its a great night for Boston music. You guys are wonderful people and we appreciate you.
