For a great article on the 2004 Awards process and Awards Show, we've posted a PDF file of a great Singer Magazine article which really summarizes the program very well (with some cool pictures of awards nominees and winners included). Here's the link to view the file:

In 2001, we had our Awards Show in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd., Nov 17! We were thrilled with the standing room only turn out for the event and we were blown away by all the talent in the room. Live Performances included Steve White, Joe Brack, Vicki Genfan, Mauro Vizcarra, Erika Luckett, Seth Horan, Dave Nachmanoff, Natalie Brown, Little Sista, Tammy Edwards, Kerry Getz, Don Campbell, Rhonda Schuster, Von Em, Debra Davis, Harold Payne and Freebo. Over 100 different 2001 nominees attended along with their friends and family from all over the US and World. We're already planning the 2002 Awards show!

This is the official database of Just Plain Folks Members Music we have in our files. It was updated 02-20-06 with all the Albums we've received including ALL 2002/2004/2006 Awards Entries. Currently there are app. 50,000 CD's included and we receive more every day. All listed CD's will be considered for airplay on our Radio Free Virgin Channel and are either currently entered or have been entered in previous Just Plain Folks Music Awards. If you have sent us a CD of your music and can't find yourself listed here, please contact our Projects Director Linda Berger at JustPlainLin@aol.com and she will assist you. Please be sure to check alternative spellings. We put artists in order by the first letter of their name or band name. If you are Joe Smith, you'll find yourself listed under the J's. If you are "The Joe Smith Band" it is possible you are listed under T for The instead. We tried to place people in appropriate alphabetical listings, but often bands and artists use different versions of their own names.
