The 2011 Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll is here!
And... nope, neither Storm Davis nor Poorly Drawn People are nominated.
After our 4th year in a row of pounding our esteemed competition into the ground, our friends at the Phoenix (RI's premiere alternative & arts weekly newspaper) pulled us aside and gently declared that, for the good of the community, we would be declared ineligible in the next poll. It seemed reasonable enough to us.
Well, the next poll is here.
Just because you can't vote for us, that doesn't mean you shouldn't make a last minute ballot out and vote for your choice of our many friends who've been nominated. So, we recommend you head over here and exercise your Democratic muscles by voting for any of the following artists:
BEST HIP HOP
Dirty Hank
Chachi
Jon Hope
BEST SONG
Cas Uno, "Sticks Out Like A Sore Thumb"
BEST ACOUSTIC/SINGER-SONGWRITER
Brian McKenzie
BEST MALE VOX
Jay Berndt
BEST ALBUM
Jay Berndt, Sad Bastard Songs
BEST ACT
Six Star General
VulGarrity
BEST FEMALE VOX
Mandy Allan [Girl Haggard]
BEST LOUD

BEST PUNK/GARAGE

Feel free to make your own decisions when it comes to the rest of the categories. :)
Thanks to all of you who have voted for us in the past, to all of the artists who we endorse for making music that we dig, and to the staff of the Phoenix for their enduring support.
***All recommended artists were selected by Storm Davis for you consideration. Any issues with his choices can be brought up with him. Leave the rest of PDP alone.
