Louisville Music Awards: The Finalists

The 2016 Louisville Music Awards will be at The Kentucky Center's Bomhard Theatre on October 27th. There will be much fanfare, red carpet, celebrity sightings, a bourbon drink or two, and lots of great performances. But most importantly, some hard working Louisville musicians will get recognition for their recordings and performances over the last year. The finalists were nominated by The Academy and the public.
