That and we're now a non-profit. Pretty cool, huh?

Press Release 2.0

Howdy!

David McLean here - local guitarist & guitar instructor...and creator of the Lexington Music Awards. We're presenting the 2nd Annual Lexington Music Awards show on Sunday, January 31 at the historic Lyric Theatre!

The awards, unlike other awards shows across the country, don't just honor musicians, but the entire music community....with categories for best live venue, best DJ, best music store....best song, best vocalist....plus specialty categories like "community music award" and "lifetime achievement award" (over 30 categories in all).

As many of you recall from the first show, this event was to be hosted at a small venue here in Lexington with the assumption the first year we'd be lucky to put 50-75 people in the room, but that we'd demonstrate we could build a viable program and grow it from there.

The project quickly grew out of control (haha!), and we nearly sold out the Lyric Theatre back in February amid all that snow!

We're about to launch the nominations ballot, and official nominees should be announced by late November or early December.

I'd love to chat with you further about this event! Please feel free to contact me at this email address or call/text me at 859-420-2007.

Also, feel free to check in at the FB page or look at our blog. The new web-site will be on-line soon!

Press Release (Lexi Mission Statements)

The LEXINGTON MUSIC AWARDS are designed to add cohesion and a true sense of community to the local & regional music scene; to help raise the "quality" bar; to educate artists and fans alike on what's going on in the whole music community; integrate Lexington into the wider (national) music scene; and much more.

The Lexi-Fest Concert Series is a spin-off of the Lexi Music Awards, designed to promote artists of all styles in the area, promote the Lexi Music Awards& it's mission, and to (in some cases) raise awareness & money for local charities.

Up-coming Lexi-Fest shows include dates at Natasha's, Cosmic Charlie's, Austin City Saloon, Proud Mary's, and more....all culminating with the 2nd Lexington Music Awards show at the historic Lyric Theatre in February 2016.

For additional info, contact Lexi Awards founder/organizer David McLean (here, on the FB awards page, or sdmusiclab@netscape.net).
