Texas Music Awards seeking committee members
LINDEN, TX – The Academy of Texas Music and MyTexasMusic.com are seeking volunteers to staff committees needed in conjunction with the presentation of the 4th Annual Texas Music Awards on March 25th at Music City Texas Theater.
All interested persons are asked to attend the first committee meeting at Music City Texas Theater on Thursday January 5th at 6:00 p.m. A brief explanation of each committee will be given and volunteers will have an opportunity to sign up for one or more.
The Academy of Texas Music
recently named Music City Texas Theater in Linden as the location of the 4th
Annual Texas Music Awards. Jinelle Boyd, one of the producers of the show,
says, “This show is fully funded by sponsors and completely staffed by
volunteers. That is part of what makes Texas such a great place.”
”There is a lot to be done in preparation for this show and we would love to
have the help of the community. It is so exciting to watch this event come
together over a short twelve week span.”
Boyd said there were eleven committees ranging from Sponsorship and Hospitality to Publicity and Personnel. The additional committees are Audio-Visual, Advertising, Process, House, Awards, Show, and Follow-up.
Boyd added, “We had more
than forty great volunteers last year, and we will need the kindness of
volunteers again this year in every possible capacity. We’ll need graphics
designers, video experts, computer operators, runners, greeters, party
planners, and sponsorship sales people. Many of our past volunteers will
come from all over Texas on the day of the show, but there’s plenty to do
before then.”
The city of Linden and the Linden Economic Development Corporations pledged
their support of the Texas Music Awards by voting to partially fund the
event. Boyd commented, “We’re so happy to have such great community
support. This is a great opportunity for everyone to be part of the most
prestigious musical event in Texas.”

Awards are presented for Entertainer, Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist, Duo or Group, Rising Star, Record, Song, Album, Singer/Songwriter, Musician, Live Band, Musical Event, Producer, Radio Station and Disc Jockey of the Year.
