2008 SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards

 

NEWS! SoulTracks Awards to be hosted by broadcasting legend and the voice of the Detroit Pistons, MASON! 

Hey SoulTrackers! We had such a good time last year, we're going to do it again in '08!  An entire weekend of great music, highlighted by the SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards!

The SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards have grown into a must-see event for lovers of modern soul music.  Last year's awards were truly magical, and we're planning a show this year that will be even better.    This year's awards will be held on Friday, October 3 at Detroit's beautiful Max M. Fisher Music Center (connected with Orchestra Hall).   And it will be followed by an all-star show to be held on the evening of Saturday, October 4 at the GM Theatre ad Detroit's wonderful Museum of African American History, creating a full weekend of fantastic soul music. 

And we'll not only be focusing on the current world of soul, we'll be helping the next generation.  100% of the profits from this year's weekend will be donated to the music program at Cornerstone Schools, one of the nation's most vibrant and successful urban schools.

Plan to visit us and our hosts Mason and Jodine Dorce to see some killer performances by nominees for this year's Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Duo or Group of the Year and Top New Artist.   We'll also be presenting our annual Lifetime Achievement Award, which is always a highlight of the show. This year's Lifetime Achievement winners will be the incredible Dramatics.
