Riverfront Times announces 2008 Music Awards nominees

The Riverfront Times has announced the nominees for the paper's 2008 Music Awards. Oddly, the list of nominees in the jazz category is identical to last year's, with Willie Akins, Hamiet Bluiett (pictured), Erin Bode, the Dave Stone Trio and the Brian Sullivan Quartet up for the award again this year.

If past years are any guide, ballots will be available soon both online and in the paper. You can see the complete list of nominees in all categories here. The RFT's annual music showcase, which features performances by many of the nominated bands at venues in and around the Delmar Loop, is scheduled for Sunday, June 1. Award winners will be announced in a subsequent issue of the paper.
