2007 Sommy Awards
To aid with the post-show hangover from Friday's 2007 Sommy Awards, we're offering a bit of a multimedia buffet: Isamu (Diabolical Som) Jordan has written a Sommys Rap Up on this year's event - presented as an audio slideshow, with lyrics. Special thanks to Rhea Beumer of Empyrean Coffeehouse for supplying the bulk of the photos.
Below that are audio clips of last Friday's award announcements, followed by the acceptance speech where applicable.
Thanks for listening local - There's more coverage of the local music scene at the Sound Wave blog or pick up Spokane7 at the nearest drop point. The searchable MP3 archive, as always, is here, and whomever isn't in the archive might have landed in 7's streaming shows.
