We have said it on many occasions in the past here at Rapid Growth, but with each passing year, Grand Rapids’ music scene continues to evolve into some new kind of wonderful.
Not only is our region becoming a draw for musicians, but also an attractant for folks who enjoy not just access to live music but such incredibly diverse musical styles available almost nightly on our scene.
And this year is another milestone for local musicians as it is the 20th Annual WYCE
Jammie Awards celebration at The Intersection.
This night is a chance for fans of our community-sponsored and volunteer-DJ radio station 88.5 FM to honor the hard work of our music community with a program jam-packed with an impressive roster of artists.
And with the recent expansions at The ‘Section, the 20th Jammies grows to become a four-stages experience for the first time in its history!
