2017 Boston Music Awards “Blues Artist of the Year” – The Silks

The Silks are nominated for “Blues Artist of the Year” in the 2017 Boston Music Awards!

2017 Boston Music Awards

Thanks to YOU – The Silks were nominated for a Boston Music Award!

When we found out The Silks were nominated for a Boston Music Award we almost couldn’t believe it. Then when we found out The Silks were nominated for “Blues Artist of the Year” we seriously could not believe it. The Boston Music Scene has a deep history and is loaded with extremely talented singers, songwriters, bands, duos, you name it, Boston’s got it. An artist is lucky enough to find a parking spot in this town let alone receive an award for making music! To be recognized along side so many great musicians and given the opportunity to attend the Boston Music Awards at the world famous House Of Blues on Lansdowne Street across from Fenway Park’s Green Monster was to be a very proud moment for this humble little “bar band” who dares to dream big. We could hardly wait for it to happen! A night out on the town with The Silks and all we have to lift is drinks? Let’s do this!

2016 Boston Music Awards

Thanks to YOU – The Silks were nominated for Blues Artist of the Year!

On the evening of December 8th 2016 The Silks suited up and hit the town not expecting to win an award, but simply to have a good time, enjoy some good music and look good doin’ it. We walked the black carpet in style, Jonas sipping his Bulleit, Sam swiggin’ his Jack, and Cowboy Tyler-James with the lovely Lady Jess Powers on his arm. Drinks were flowin’, nods were given, and laughs were shared, everything was cool as cool could be. Then something remarkable happened. They announced the nominees for Blues Artist of the Year, we heard our name over the PA, saw our photo on the big screen and thought well that was pretty damn cool, who needs a drink?… Then the winner was announced… Blues Artist of the Year – The Silks!

GASP! Holy sh*t! Are you f*cking kidding me? We won? There were some heavy hitters on that nominee list! OMG!
