From all of us at DC Music Review, we wish you a very happy and incredibly healthy new year! May your year be filled with joyous music from around the globe. While we rejoice and celebrate the music that vibrates ever fibre of our being, we also want to take tremendous pride in the exceptionally talented homegrown musicians right here in the thriving music scene in the DMV.
Let us end the year by reminding you that The MusicianShip's 2022 Wammie Award Season is well underway and entering a pivotal phase. The Wammie Award season began in December when nominations opened for the 60+ music award categories. Since then, The Wammie Awards has received hundreds of nominations representing the best of the DMV's thriving music scene in 2021.
Starting tomorrow, January 1st, 2022, music audiences across the Washington DC Region will be allowed to vote for The 2022 Wammie Awards. What better way to start off 2022 than to celebrate the achievements of 2021!
How To Cast Your Vote
Public voting will take place from January 1st to January 31st, 2022 through Nominations and Voting Award Force Portal. During this time, registered individuals may vote for musicians and artists in the DMV region.

The Award Show
After two consecutive years of virtual productions, The MusicianShip's Wammie Awards plans to return in person for its 35th Annual Award Show on Saturday, March 26, 2022. Award festivities will take place in D.C.'s newest, historic, and state-of-the-art entertainment venue: Capital Turnaround, located in South East Washington, D.C, just a stones throw away from the Washington Navy Yard. This venue features a sprawling Main Hall, a 1,000 person auditorium, exposed brick Green Rooms, and breakout spaces. With The MusicianShip offices based in Anacostia, they are committed to bringing even more music events and experiences to Wards 7 & 8 - D.C.'s lowest-funded wards for arts & entertainment. The Musicianship seeks to raise $5,000 at the awards show on behalf of our free music education programs.
The MusicianShip is honored to welcome back Britt Waters of ABC7News as The 2022 Wammie Awards Show Host. Experienced multimedia broadcaster, Waters will present The Wammies Awards Show, shifting between entertainment, artist recognition, and The MusicianShip's youth programs fundraiser.
