Hear The Nominees

Be informed about who you are voting for, before you cast a blind vote for a random nominee. Below are links to all the music of the nominees for the 10th Annual Kindred Awards. These links are provided to hopefully give you a better picture of the sound and styles of each nominee and also to open up your musical world to artists, genres and styles you might not be familiar with otherwise. It’s my hopes that you might find a new favorite artist or style of music that you never thought you’d like. If you like what you hear, spread the word or even better, support the artists by downloading or streaming their music.
