SURVEY SAYS...... I've had a LOT of suggestions scattered thru various posts here, emails, pms, texts, etc on WHAT NEW CATEGORIES we should have for the awards. So a question:
If you could only add ONE new award (it can be music style, instrument, industry award...whatever), what would it be???

Awards Changes
From June 1 FB group post:
BIG CHANGES.....in keeping things moving forward and trying to improve, we're initiating several changes in the awards process (and in the Lexi-Fest series).
1) We're adding a "panel of experts" to ADD (not replace) to the nominees. Nominations will still be done by public vote, but a small and rotating list of industry folk (media, retail, musicians, etc) will add a "wild card" nominee to every category.
2) We're adding a few categories....including "album of the year" and "critics choice award" (this voted on by the aforementioned panel). Maybe more, if feasible.
3) I may trim back the Lexi-Fest gigs (or turning all but one or two over to others to organize and host). We'll have official criteria for everyone if YOU want to host a Lexi-Fest show.
Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions (pro or con)?
Let's discuss it!

4) Other changes in the awards we've discussed....like "Best Album" category, an expert panel made up of a handful of industry folks (like some of last year's winners, which will disqualify them for 2017 awards, and others) to add a "wild card" entry in each category and possibly vote for a "critics choice award".
Said panel will change EACH YEAR.
5) It is likely we'll start the voting EARLY this year, with much more time for everyone to get the word out to other musicians, music fans, family/friends, and the like. Personally, I'd like to see 5000 votes this year in the nomination process.
Lexi-Fest Series and Festival
As with last year, we've knocked out a variety of Lexi-Fest shows this year at venues around the area....from O'Neil's to Al's Bar to Common Grounds to Willis Music and more. The series culminates with the Lexi-Fest Festival, Sunday September 4 (Labor Day Weekend) at Proud Mary's.
