Vote In The Austin Music Poll Today For Your Favorite Austin Music Artists January 2008
Hello!
As you might already know, this year’s Austin Chronicle Austin Music Poll is taking place as we speak. With only a couple of weeks left to vote, I wanted to send you out a quick reminder and offer up some suggestions for the ballot. Call it, the official Nakia endorsement if you will.
Remember, anyone can vote - whether you live in Austin, TX or not! However, ballot stuffing is a no-no, so please only vote once and then forward this email on to someone you think might not have voted yet. With so much amazing talent to choose from this year, I encourage you to not be too quick to vote. Instead, go out and see some live music this next week - perhaps specifically pick some shows you’ve always been curious about but were too busy to catch, or see something you would never see just to expand your palette a bit and help to make your votes really count! Below you will find a sample of categories that I would be thrilled for you to consider me for. Whether it’s just me, my band The Southern Cousins, or someone else… Remember, this is the Live Music Capital of the World and we would appreciate your vote. Thanks and see you soon!
Every Vote Really Does Count!
The legendary Bobbie Nelson is featured on the cover of this week’s Austin Chronicle where the Austin Music Poll can be found on page 61. Grab one today, fill in your ballot and mail it in or visit the Chronicle website to cast your votes by clicking this link:
I am including some of my personal suggestions for each category on the ballot. (SUGGESTIONS IN RED ARE THE ONES YOU REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER US FOR!!) However, since it’s such a large ballot, I will split this into 2 emails, so be on the lookout for another message with more suggestions next week!
