As award season is upon us, it is our pleasure to share with you the very talented recipients of the 2014 SAMMY Awards that were handed out March 7th at the Palace Theatre in Syracuse, NY. The SAMMYs were founded in 1993 by Frank Malfitano. Groups and artists are invited to submit their work for consideration and recognition. Categories span multiple genres of music, and area musicians and artists are recognized and celebrated in the number one musical event in the Syracuse area.

As award shows go, this one is no different boosting a red carpet event, live acts, and festivities celebrating the creative arts in the Syracuse area. This year’s performers included the likes of Mike McKay Band, Brownskin Band, Pale Green Stars, The Goonies, and the Flashcubes to name a few.
