I believe we all are finally recovered from the epic event that was the 2008 Local Music Awards. WPGU and the Buzz would like to thank everyone for coming out and having a great time. I’d also like to personally give a shout out to one of our sponsors. Jack Daniels, there is nothing like a free whiskey sour to convey the message “I love local music.” You, my friend, are a true champion. All the performances were outstanding, ranging from hip hop to blue grass. My personal favorite was Snowsera, and between their catchy tunes and the aforementioned Jack Daniels, I spent most of their performance dancing on the award stage until I was finally shooed off so they could present the next award.
Side note: Does the name “Snowsera” sound like a dinosaur to you?
This connection could be partially stemming from the fact that a dinosaur in The Land Before Time was named Sara.
The show was a great time, and an excellent opportunity for people new to or unfamiliar with the Champaign-Urbana music scene to get to know those who have been a part of it for years. Congratulations to everyone who won an award or was nominated! We might live in the corn fields of central Illinois, but we have one fantastic local music scene.
