The MAMAs are turning 18, can you believe that? When Murphy & Ricci first conceived of this brainchild, I am sure they never imagined that it would grow as it has. Going from 8 to over 20 Categories from Rock to Jazz, Americana to Hip Hop and everything in between.
Over 400 nominees in 21 Categories had to be narrowed down. We poll local promoters, venues, entertainment writers and key members of the music community to come up with the #mamanees each year. Narrowing the list down by looking at several elements including how many times they perform, how active they are on social media, any new merch, tours, videos? It is up to the fans to decide who is going to take home one of the iconic carhop trophies.
