Janey Street is one of the most honest talents out there. Her work is timeless,ageless and enduring. I have been a fan for many years and she has never failed to deliver high quality work.

Janey Street sings from the heart. The way her songs are timeless gives us the opportunity to listen to these tunes for a very long time, and pull them off the shelf and listen to them again and enjoy them as much as the first time you have heard of them! She has jazz, blues, rock, country in all of her songs. We have been honored with her talent. Janey Street you rock sister! Much admiration, Glinda A.

Janey Street IS a rock artist. Lots of people try to act that way, but with Janey, she was born with it! Such a natural talent and she is beautiful inside and out! Rock On Janey!

Thank you Polly, Tommy, and David you guys work so hard and are the best in my book!!! You defiantly deserve every award you win!!

Polly O’Keary & The Rhythm Method are fantastic, what a great blues group and fan favorite

Best Blues Band: I vote for the Papermoon Gypsys!! because all of their songs introductions gives notice and establishes good beats,both vocally and instrumentally. They sing with rich vocal melody their songs always does what a song (s) should do gets stuck in my head,they always catch my attention with the way the lead singer hits those high notes and their instruments and lyrics and beat. Lexi G. has a very strong singing ability and Kenny has a high quality guitar playing ability too.They are inspiring and very skilled musicians!!!

So glad to see Janey Street up for a couple of awards! Our house loves In My Own Skin!

Best female CD of 2017
Best female Rock Artist!
“Get these two awards to her as soon as possible! No one deserves it more than Janey!!
Respect!
Brooks Arthur

Best Blues Band: Papermoon Gypsys!! because they are natural,professional,accomplished,skilled,experienced,imaginative,talented,careful and creative.

Best Blues Band:= Papermoon Gypsys!! because they are excellent and very charming of their sound. as it offers a refreshingly clear and full rich tones and they produce fantastic sound tracks.. <3

BEST BLUES BAND – Polly O’Keary & the Rhythm Method And for Fan Favorite!!!

In My Own Skin by Janey Street is an combination of how GREAT VOCALS meet GREAT SONGS. This CD is really SPECIAL.

Absolute Best Blues Band-Is the Papermoon Gypsys!!! cool!%^^ Because they sing and play with a high point in every song they write,record and when it comes to being live on the stage they are great performers to say the least. And as they put a lot of feeling into their songs and videos heartfelt and so very charming. <3

I vote for the Papermoon Gypsys for being the Best Blues Band- because they are fantastic!! and their soundtracks shuffles and buckles you with a lurching kind of twangy guitar effects and rich artistic backgrounds that has a mix of emotional depth with flawless technics. ^_^

Janey Street continues to wow audiences with her second record in 2 years! The writing is deep yet entertaining. The music has super cool vibes and the vocals are ever so rich and clear!! This record is a stellar listening experience from start to finish!

Best Single – Breaking Grass
Best Bluegrass Band -Breaking Grass
Best CD(GROUP) – Breaking Grass
Best Roots AMA Artist – Pi Jacobs
Best Country Artist – Tara Dente

Polly O’Keary and the Rhythm Method for blues fan favorite! The band rocks every house they enter, and who can help but love the gregarious and energetic Polly?!

FAN FAVORITE BEST SINGLE (Group) BIRDS & ARROWS (“Stay Down”) Andrea Connolly has one of the absolute purest female voices in music today. Birds & Arrows are a powerhouse combination of Andrea on electric guitar and her husband Pete holding down the beat on drums and seamlessly blending uncannily perfect blended harmonies, just under her rich vocals. They really are quite special. ❤️

Roots of Creation absolutely deserves Best Reggae Band and has MY vote for Fan Favorite !! These guys are on fire !!! One of the hardest working bands out there now. Amazing sound and energy.

Recommend Parlor Social for Fan Favorite. Best Live Show in LA – what do you expect when you put together a singer trained by Circ De Soliel to soar 60 feet off the ground while hitting the high and low notes and the piano player/keyboardist who tours with Madona…plus dancers, rappers,
trombones, trumpets and good ole R&B? You get Cab Calloway for the 21st Century. So much fun.

Roots of Creation!!!!! 🔥❤️🎶these guys ROCK!!!!!!!! Listen and love!!!!!

And Lexi-G. her singing ability is so very attractive,rich,warm,distinctive,expressive,strong,confident,heartfelt,clear,stylish,impressive,high pitch ranged,dynamic and powerful vocal tone!! They are so amazing and must watch and listen to band…..

I have loved Janet Street’s music for a long time. She is an accomplished artist and songwriter whose songs touch the soul.

Fan Fav and Best Blues Band would hands down be POLLY O’KEARY AND THE RHYTHM METHOD!! They give it all at every show, love and appreciate their fans, and have undeniable skill and talent with the blues music. Definitely the pick for my husband and I. For Best Blues Artist we would definitely pick Janiva! Another amazing artist with amazing talent. We’ve seen her at home in Washington, at the Waterfront Blues Festival, and when we were on vacation in LA. At every level of venue she gives her very best.

Consistently smooth and easy, “Bluz Street” Janey scores points when she depicts today’s lyrical poetry succinctly in-song. Major Props to her incorporating a little Hip-Hop on “Dignity” without losing her core. I would love for her to add a cover of a past hit on her next album.

JANEY STREET for Fan Favorite & Best Female CD! Janey is so talented and her song writing is amazing! Her most recent CD, In My Own Skin I do believe is one of her best! Rock on Janey, I love your music!!!!

Janey Street for Fan Favorite!

Janey’s music speaks to me like few others do. The struggles she reveals through her songs mirror many of my own! She is one of our premier rock and blues artists and deserves recognition.

She deserves BEST CD (Female), BEST ROCK ARTIST, and Fan Favorite!

Best Blues Band hands down is the Papermoon Gypsys Because they give their all at every show, love and appreciate their fans, and have undeniable skill and talent with the blues music. Definitely for me For Best Blues Band Artist with amazing talent. I’ve seen them play live at various Blues Festivals,like in LA. At every level of venue they give their very best.

Janey Street keeps bringin’ it! I love her newest stuff. The woman can write and perform with the very best of them!

Fan Favorite – Blues band _ Polly O’Keary and the Rhythym Method! Great new cd, but even better when playing live. They are touring the country in an suv pulling a trailer and seem to play and perform for the sheer joy of it. Seen live they are contagious! They interact with fans before during and after performances. Three outstanding musicians who are able to work together to create great entertainment! To me they demonstrate what performing live is all about!

Beat Roots /Americana Artist. Sara Petite. Her lyrics can take you from laughing to crying in one album and the music is terrific. I still have a single CD player in my car and her new cd is in there right now.
