The Asbury Park Music Awards is an annual award ceremony held in Asbury Park, New Jersey, United States, recognizing musicians for their work.
About[edit]
Asbury Park has a rich musical history, including a strong blues tradition and the Jersey Shore sound. Notable artists associated with the town include Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and Bon Jovi. To honor musicians and others involved in the local and regional music scene, Scott Stamper, founder of the Wave Gathering Music Festival, and Pete Mantas established the annual Asbury Park Music Awards (also known as the Asbury Music Awards) in 1993. The awards were initially called the Golden T-Bird Awards.
The first ceremony was held in 1993 at the T-Bird Cafe, a small club on Main Street in Asbury Park owned by Stamper. The event later moved to The Saint and was renamed the Asbury Park Music Awards in 1995. As attendance grew, the ceremony began rotating among larger venues, including The Fastlane and The Tradewinds. In recent years, the event has been held at The Stone Pony.[1]
The awards ceremony follows a format similar to the Grammy Awards, combining award presentations with live performances of original music and poetry.[2][3]
Award categories vary annually but typically include Top Young Band (Under 21), Top Male Acoustic Act, Top Jam Band, Top Female Vocalist, Top Heavy Rock Act, Top Local Release, and Living Legend Award, among others.[4]
