Everyone relax, the Sammies–SN&R’s long-running celebration of local musicians–have not gone the way of the 8-track cartridge. Promise.

Over the last few weeks we’ve received many emails and phone calls from readers inquiring about this year’s nominations process and awards ceremony.

After all it’s been nearly a year since the 2013 awards (including one for Live Performer, given to Kill the Precedent, pictured above) were  handed out at Ace of Spades.

By that calendar, we should have already been deep into the voting process by this point.

The Sammies are happening–just not next month.  Instead, for various logistical reasons, they’ve been pushed to March 2015. Voting will start in January.

Stay tuned–or  visit the Sammies website for further updates.
