The MusicianShip will also deliver General Interest Awards that gauge community impact around the region in education, advocacy, and community service. The show will feature a Virtual Red Carpet, interviews with the 2021 finalists, and even a Virtual After Party to celebrate the 2021 Winners.

“We’re thrilled to host our second virtual Wammie Awards Show. Last year was an incredible success, and we’re planning even more innovative and dynamic content for our audience this year. We’re excited to use this platform to celebrate the amazing contributions of our local musicians and industry professionals,” said Jeffery Tribble, Jr., Executive Director of The MusicianShip.
