WMRC Local Music Awards

The First Class Radio WMRC (1490 AM) 2013 Local Music Awards will be held at PiNZ in Milford on Sunday.

This “Grammy-esque” awards show has been created to honor the local music community for their creative contributions. This is the second time this event has been held with last year’s event drawing more than 600 people. 

“The line-up of entertainment coupled with the energy the fans of these local musicians will bring to this event is going to be something to see and hear.” said Ray Auger, Creative Director for WMRC.

More than 5,000 people participated in the voting for categories.

Nominees and their guests will experience a “Hollywood-rockstar” environment” complete with limo arrival to a red carpet entrance where they will be greeted by fans and press. Nominees will be interviewed as they arrive to by our red carpet host on Milford TV. Live music will be featured by nominees throughout the night. Fans who are lucky enough to attain a coveted “backstage pass” can hang out with their favorite nominees in the Narragansett VIP Lounge that will emulate a true “backstage” area.

The LMAs is a 21+, free event open to the public. The red carpet ceremony will kick off at 5 p.m. Sunday with the show starting promptly at 6 p.m. There are 30 categories of awards covering all sectors of the local music scene. The show will close with the ever coveted “Headliner Award”.
