Well everyone, it is that time of year again. The 2011 South Carolina Music Awards nominees were announced earlier today, along with the date and location of this year’s events. And from what I heard, there was a lot of anticipation around where the Awards were going to take place.
July 29-31, 2011 in Columbia, SC the 4th annual event will take place, with the Awards show being held on July 30 at The Coop (on USC’s campus). This annual event is brought to you by The Niche Carolina Magazine along with One Love Marketing Group. If 2011 is anything like 2010 or 2009, you can expect an epic event with a weekend full of activities.
Visit the SC Music Awards website to cast your votes and for more information. www.nancioradioshow.com is a proud media sponsor for 2011’s events.
