INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS - IT'S NOT JUST MUSIC

For the past 7 years, the Independent Music Awards, a unique, international
program that provides yearlong promotion, marketing and distribution
opportunities for indie releases, has helped indie artists overcome
hurdles and achieve wider recognition and distribution among music fans
and industry insiders.

Spooky, Ben Folds, Robbie Folks, Kelly Willis, among many others.
