BOBBEE BEE: THE 10th ANNUAL CAROLINA MUSIC AWARDS

"Music expresses that which can not be put into words and that which can not remain silent"

by Eric D. Graham

The 10th Annual Carolina Music Awards, which was held at Raleigh's Duke Energy Center for Performing Arts on Saturday, Aug.6, was filled with Country Crooners, soulful singers, beautiful women, dignified divas, underground Hip-Hoppers, and future rock stars that came together to celebrate their love for music.
...
Before the award ceremony, most of the independent artists, who had been nominated, walked the Red carpet in style- in what some people- call "Raleigh-Wood", while posing and smiling for the paparazzi before being interviewed by reporters.

"It's definitely a huge honor being nominated. I am excited. said Brianna Graves, who won the 2017 CMA Model of the Year Award, while being interviewed on the Red Carpet.
.
According to IndyWeek, Omar McCallop, the event organizer, stated- that the purpose of the Carolina Music Awards was to bring attention to the music industry in North and South Carolina and celebrate it by creating an inclusive, self-perpetuating scene.

As the CMAs continues to grow in popularity, McCallop has plans of taking his award show, which allows youth artist, music and video producers, DJs, artists, and lovers of music to celebrate their talent on the road to Wilmington and Charlotte.

But, until then, It's Welcome To Raleigh-Wood!!!!
