The stage is set for this  year's WMRC Local Music Awards!  On May  17th hundreds of musicians, fans and local music supporters will  gather at Liz's Diamond Bar and Grille in Hopedale to honor, celebrate and relish  all that The Greater Milford Area Local Music Scene offers.
The festivities will begin at 4:00pm with a special  pre-awards show featuring the band TETER  TODDERS and friends.  The  official award ceremony starts at 5:00pm featuring a red carpet introduction of  nominees, 10 live performances and 30 award presentations.  
"There is such immense talent in our direct area" said event  organizer, Ray Auger of WMRC First Class Media Solutions in Milford.  "Four years ago, I decided it was time to  honor the talent that encompasses Milford and its surrounding 13 towns.  We make one hell of a night of it!  Everyone, 21 plus, is invited to attend and  enjoy a night of local music at its best… and it's FREE!"
This event is designed to look and feel as if it would be a  night at the Grammy Awards.  No detail is  missed. There will be red carpet, VIP Lounge, SWAG, interviews;  must-see-fashion, laminated VIP passes for those lucky enough to be granted  access to the VIP Lounge, live performances and coveted trophies handed out  throughout the night included the Stanley Cup of local music honors, The  Headliner Award.  The WMRC LMAs were  designed to honor the arts in style.  
"The focus on local  music from WMRC has been amazing, says local musician and promoter Tom Pile.  "The WMRC Local Music Award event is a  spectacular celebration of what the local artists have accomplished over the  past year, voted on by their fans and peers. Every year seems to get better and better."
Voting for the 30 multi-genre categories begins April 1st  and runs through April 14th.   For more details on the WMRC Local Music Awards like the Facebook page  or visit http://wmrcdailynews.com./
