BMA Once Again Misses the Mark

Posted on the 17 October 2015 by Notlobmusic @notlobmusic
The categories for this year's Boston Music Awards are
DJ
Producer
Electronic
Hip-Hop
PopRock
Indie
Singer-Songwriter

I am sorry to see that once again, although there are vibrant communities, BMA does not see fit to include categories for our favorites...
Folk
Celtic
Bluegrass
Old time
Country blues

Cajun/Quebequois.
See Where's the folk? - 11/2/11 and Where's the Folk? - 11/19/13
And where's the jazz, classical, polka, zydeco, electric blues, world, Americana...???!!!
I wish the organization well, it does a great service to the Boston-area pop music community, but misses the mark when it claims to be an awards organization for "Boston music" as it chooses to exclude several vibrant genre. Until it serves all active Boston-area music communities, BMA should change its name to "Boston Pop Music Awards" or such.

p.s. I am one of the 400 nominators. If you append below names of your favorites for BMA's existing categories, I will listen to their audio and give them consideration.
