This year the 21st Boston Music Awards takes place at the Roxy on Dec. 7th and several acts with ties to Lowell have been nominated:

Outstanding Americana Act, Frank Morey
Outstanding Hip Hop Act, Los Wunder Twins
Outstanding Blues Act, Evan Goodrow
Best Hip Hop Producer, D-Tension

Local favorite Frank Morey, the Tom Waits of Lowell, has been crafting timeless, gritty and bluesy gems that capture the spirit and essence of the Mill City more than any other artist I've heard. Check him out every Sunday night in December at the Plough in Cambridge.

Place your vote by December 5th.
