This brand new music awards ceremony is all nominated and voted on by YOU, the fans. This laid back show has been put together to celebrate the wide array of talent that exists right here in the Capital Region. Nominate what bands and artists you want to win a Listen Up Award by clicking here! Nominate as many bands in each category as you want!

No need for a suit, wear your favorite pair of jeans and band tee-shirt, have a couple cocktails and root on fellow bands and artists all in the name of fun. There will also be multiple live musical performances throughout the night.
