To all: We are pleased to announce that our CD Divine Amarillis: Airs De Court 1570-1640 has won first place as best album at the 2009 Just Plain Folks Awards ceremony in the category of Classical Voice/Opera Solo. We have no idea who nominated us for the award, and are generally stunned at winning first place when looking at the considerable competition in this category. Here is what we found on their website: Just Plain Folks is the world's largest grassroots music organization of over 51,500 songwriters, recording artists and music industry professionals, and host to the world's largest independent music awards. Just Plain Folks recognizes the other 98% of indie artists the world rarely hears. This year the JPF Music Awards received forty-two thousand albums, and five-hundred-sixty thousand song submissions in the largest music awards of any kind in world history. The JPF Music Awards took place in Nashville August 29, 2009 at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, Tennessee. The Classical Voice/Opera Solo category was wide open and we were really the only early music performers. And there can be no mistaking the era of our music since the dates were in the CD title. This award really means something for the entire lute world: Our concerted effort to reach the mainstream listening audience with passionately performed music for voice and lute is working. Hopefully, this means that audiences will dig a little deeper and more people will discover our music.
