The Hoboken Music Awards were started in 2009 by Dave Entwistle. Entwistle is the long-time host of the Peoples Open Mic, a weekly showcase for local artists in town. The concept of the awards was to honor those artists and the people who help promote the music scene in and around the Hoboken area. The inaugural event, held at the now defunct Goldhawk, was a huge success. 2010′s HMAs nearly burst the walls of Northern Soul.
This year’s event, planned with the help of local writer Stephen Bailey, is happy to call Maxwell’s its home. This year’s nominating process has been streamlined to give more support for artists who regularly play in Hoboken.
The categories are: Outstanding Male Solo, Outstanding Female Solo, Outstanding Band, Outstanding Scene Contributor, Outstanding Recording, Outstanding Video, and finally a Peoples Choice Award where the public gets to nominate artists. This is our night! A party, a celebration, a night of music, friends, peers & awards.
On November 12, 2011 come to Maxwell’s 1039 Washington St in Hoboken, NJ. We’re gonna to throw a little party we like to call The Hoboken Music Awards. On that night, we’ll honor our local music scene and the people who make it happen. Won’t you join us?
