About

Sustainable Music.

Austin without music would be like peanut butter without jelly, beans without rice, or Willie without the braids.  But we have to support the scene to keep it alive. To showcase some of the best musicians in the city that may not be getting recognition, Republic of Austin and Two Groove decided to create the Roaries, a new kind of award celebrating the Austin musicians that YOU like.

Here’s the deal:

• In its inaugural year, the 2009 Roaries is our way of recognizing Austin musicians and celebrating Austin.
• Through the Roaries, we hope to raise awareness of Austin musicians that might not get noticed by the mainstream media.
• The Roaries are hosted by Republic of Austin and Two Groove-but readers like you nominate and choose the winners!
• There are a few rules.
• The Roaries will have an award ceremony on Thursday, February 25th, 2010. We hope to have a kick-a event for y’all. 
• Please contact us to learn more about sponsorship opportunities.
