Last year was so fun! I was honored to be nominated and to receive the 2016 Forte for Bass Guitarist. I have had a long and lovely career in this town, and I appreciated the recognition.

W.Y.C was astounded to be nominated by a fan in the Blues band category for last year’s Forte’ Awards. OK, so we didn’t get the coveted recognition as the recipient, but it was a real thrill to be nominated and it has helped us build credibility as we build our fan base with those who love live music and those who book it! Fans are the best.
