Chance's End's album "The Outsider " has been nominated for a JPF Music award! Ryan Avery got the news at the end of June, which came as quite a welcome surprise.
The Just Plain Folks Music Awards has grown into the largest Music Awards program in the world! They screen more than 350,000 songs and over 25,000 albums in 70+ genres from 100 Countries to honor artists all over the musical spectrum. Their volunteer judges include industry professionals, peers and music fans, and whose sole criteria for judging is "Does it move you?" The judging process took over 1 year to complete – quite an undertaking!
The electronica nominees are below – be sure to look them up if you get a chance. Believe me when I say there is some AWESOME music here! I myself will be making some purchases shortly…
