The Boston Music Award 2017 Winners Music Features by Brian Carroll - December 8, 20170 We were not able to attend the BMAs last evening but following along with everyone’s Instagrams and Facebook posts ensured our hearts that it was a rollicking good time. Filled with community and ripping guitar riffs. We will keep it short and sweet, but just wanted to take a moment to thank the Boston Music Awards planners, board, committee, whatever you guys are calling it these days, for their dedication to hosting these every year. I can’t imagine the drain it is in the week’s leading up the to the event in terms of planning and resources to ensure its a great night for Boston music. You guys are wonderful people and we appreciate you.
