Welcome to The New Mexico Music Awards

The 2012 New Mexico Music Awards Performances announced.

This year's 25th Anniversary show will feature a mix of veteran and new artists. Every year it is a difficult decision making the choices because we have so many great artists and so little time to feature them. This year's event will feature Indigie Femme, Anthony Leon and the Chain, Kito Peters featuring Son Como Son's Cesar Bauvallet, the band Siyeric, and the vocal prowess of hoNEyhOUse. We are nearly sold out and no tickets will be sold at the door.

You may purchase tickets now for the banquet and show on Sunday, May 20th at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Albuquerque. They are offering a special room rate for the event. Be sure to check out the article on us in the May issue of Albuquerque The Magazine and come back here for all the skinny on our Silver Anniversary New Mexico Music Awards event.

The complete list of finalists for this year's New Mexico Music Awards are listed on our categories page under the ENTER menu above.
