2012 SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards Finalists Named! Time For Voting!
Hey SoulTrackers, the time has come! After a month of receiving nominations from you and having 3,000 soul music artists and industry people narrow the choices down, we finally have named our finalists for the 2012 SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards, the world’s most popular awards celebrating independent soul music! There were so many quality artists it was a tough job, but our committee narrowed it down to seven finalists in each category.
This year’s SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards will be broadcast on December 3rd at 8:00 p.m., hosted by our good friend Jodine Dorce of Jodine’s Corner with help from the queen of tech, Nina Morena. Stay tuned and we’ll tell you all of the places you’ll be able to hear the awards show. We will honor the greatest music and artists from the period of October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012 (here are our eligibility rules).
