In front of a tightly packed house, a spectacle of talent graced the stage last night at the Austin Music Awards, all coming to a head with Austin legend Alejandro Escovedo's duel performance with Jakob Dylan and a heartwarming tribute to MC Overlord.
Hosts Laurie Gallardo and Rick McNulty announced the winners of the highly contested local music poll. This year, the competition was stiff, but unlike previous years, the roundup of winners seemed more deserving than in the times past. 2019 AUSTIN MUSIC AWARD WINNERS BY CATEGORY: BEST MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR -- Shakey Graves BEST AUSTIN BAND -- Shinyribs BEST NEW AUSTIN BAND -- Black Pumas BEST SONG OF THE YEAR -- Black Pumas, “Black Moon Rising” BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR -- Bob Schneider, Blood and Bones (Shockorama) BEST NONE-OF-THE-ABOVE -- Bob Schneider & The Moonlight Orchestra BEST ROCK -- Bob Schneider BEST MALE VOCALIST -- Bob Schneider BEST SONGWRITER -- Bob Schneider BEST AVANT GARDE/EXPERIMENTAL -- The Octopus Project BEST BLUES/SOUL/FUNK -- Guy Forsyth BEST MISCELLANEOUS INSTRUMENT -- Guy Forsyth (Harmonica) BEST COUNTRY -- Willie Nelson BEST ELECTRONIC -- Ghostland Observatory BEST FOLK/BLUEGRASS -- Wood & Wire BEST HIP-HOP/RAP -- Magna Carda BEST JAZZ -- White Ghost Shivers BEST LATIN -- Gina Chavez BEST FEMALE VOCALIST -- Gina Chavez BEST METAL -- Black Heart Saints BEST PUNK -- Sailor Poon BEST WORLD MUSIC -- Grupo Massa BEST BASS -- Roscoe Beck BEST DRUMS/PERCUSSION -- Brannen Temple BEST GUITAR -- Jackie Venson BEST HORNS -- Grupo Horns BEST KEYBOARDS -- Emily Gimble BEST STRINGS -- Carrie Rodriguez BEST RADIO STATION -- KUTX AUSTIN MUSIC HALL OF FAME -- Ruthie Foster TOWNES VAN ZANDT SONGWRITING AWARD -- Alejandro Escovedo MARGARET MOSER WOMEN IN MUSIC AWARD -- Dianne Scott
