The nominations have been collected and announced, and now it’s time to open up the voting for The Roaries. For those of you not aware of The Roaries, here’s a quick overview: Austin without music would be like peanut butter without jelly, beans without rice, or Willie without the braids.  But we have to support the scene to keep it alive. To showcase some of the best musicians in the city that may not be getting recognition, Republic of Austin decided to create the Roaries, a new kind of award celebrating the Austin musicians that YOU like. TwoGroove is happy to co-sponsor The Roaries with Republic of Austin, but would be even happier if you’d take a minute to cast your ballot.

The categories are: Best Female, Best Male, Best Group, Best Event, Best DJ, Best Single, and Best Album. If you need a quick refresher of the nominees, check out the Nominees page.

If you’re ready to cast your ballot and let your voice be heard, then waste no time heading to the Official Roaries Ballot. Choose wisely, you only get one ballot! Voting closes Feb 21.

After you vote, be sure to stay tuned. Rumor has it that an awards event will be taking place at The Parish on Feb 25th, from 5-9pm. It’s a very specific rumor.
