What makes the Austin Music Awards unique?

All winners are hand-picked and voted on by YOU, through the annual Austin Chronicle Music Poll. Your choice determines winners from all corners of the Texas music diaspora, including rock, country, jazz, Hip-Hop, blues, Latino, folk, punk, pop, world, electronic and classical.

Proudly benefitting these foundations:

The proceeds of this event benefit the SIMS Foundation and HAAM, two organizations that help to maintain the physical and mental health of local musicians.
