Southern Art & Music Awards: Louisiana Music

Preface: Do you know how many Southern artists were on the NPR listener’s poll for top 100 albums of 2010? Three (and all of those were from Atlanta). We at Mod Mobilian firmly believe that the South has some of the best bands in the country – but most get little attention nationally. So we, along with writers from across the Southeast, have created the Southern (Modern) Art & Music Awards. The point is to draw attention to musicians in the Deep South – Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and North Florida. The results will be a combination of public polls and votes from Southern music writers
