Winners included producer and engineer John Wall as Best Producer for the CD “Learn to Swim” from the Rock group Good as Dead, which also took home best of the Year honors. Wall also shared in the honors as producer in the Rock Adult Contemporary and Rock Mainstream categories.
Other multiple winners included Joey Belville as Best Engineer and producer in the Electronica, Rock Alternative and Rock Punk categories. Veteran artists including Michael Anthony, Catherine McGill and Le Chat Lunatique in the Best Instrumental, Adult R & B and Best Cover Song categories, respectively.
Each year, the New Mexico Music Awards honors those artists that have produced exceptional recorded music in New Mexico during the previous calendar year. The program is the brainchild of Eric Larson, Tom Mitchell and Tim Cordova, who in 1987 created the program to foster cooperation among artists, engineers and producers in New Mexico.
