The
Indie Acoustic Project is proud to announce the finalists for the IAP’s
“Best CDs of 2019” Awards. The 3 finalists in each of 10 categories
were selected from the multitudes of CDs that were considered for the
awards. As always, the quality of the CDs submitted was terrific, and
this has lead to the only major problem we faced: because there were far
more than 30 excellent CDs (and only 30 finalist slots), many deserving
recordings could not be included. We would also like to announce the
winners of the Songs of Note (Other Great Songs from 2019).
For
those of you who submitted recordings for the awards, thank you for
your excellent work. It is our hope that these awards will help all
indie artists by generating increased awareness of independently
produced music from around the world.
The list of finalists and Songs of Note Winners can also be found on our website at www.indieacoustic.com .
