The timing of the annual Grammys Awards ceremony is always an exciting time because it means that we are just a few days away from our own local music awards show, The Jammies.
Recognizing West Michigan's best albums and songs of 2017, the Jammies XIX, presented by WYCE 88.1 FM, used to be held on a weeknight until 2013 when the event took a huge leap under then station director Kevin Murphy’s leadership and vision. And to say the least, there has been no going back since this move brought so much fresh energy to the two stages it is held on Friday night.
Now the awards show has become a cultural flashpoint for our area music fans who show up en masse to cheer on their favorite acts.
And if you think this will be just another Jammies, then look at the XIX lineup scheduled to perform this year at the Intersection. And don’t leave after the awards since WYCE invites you to stay for an after party featuring Desmond Jones.
