Jewish Music Blogger Awards - 2009

Via: Jewish Music Report

Last year, YK of jmusicforum.blogspot.com organized a Jewish Music Bloggers Awards where he gave both his readers and several Jewish music bloggers an opportunity to vote on their favorites in a number of categories. It was an exciting process to be able to vote for your favorites, read the opinions of some of Jewish music’s best known bloggers and finally see the winners when they were announced. YK was hoping that the Jewish Music Bloggers Awards would become an annual event and has asked us to host this year’s awards. We are so honored to be a part of this exciting event!

After that, we will narrow the poll down to three finalists in each category, before we finally tally up the votes and proclaim the winners.

Avi Newmark - Tryouts for a Brand New Group

(Via JMR)

"Dovid Gabay. Yitzy Spinner. Shea Rubenstein. Benny Friedman. The list of gifted singers Avi Newmark has produced is about to get longer. If you have a talented son between the ages of 8 and 12 pay close attention. In a Jewish Music Report exclusive, Avi Newmark has announced that he is looking for a few select boys for his latest project, to be directed by the incomparable Yitzy Spinner.

With Newmark’s stellar reputation and uncompromising commitment to nothing less than top notch production, we here at JMR can’t wait to see what this amazingly talented producer has up his sleeve. The unique combination of Newmark’s painstaking attention to detail and Spinner’s unparalleled musical abilities will offer this special group of boys an opportunity to work with two of the most sought after talents in Jewish music today. If you think your son has what it takes to be part of this exciting opportunity, send a demo to demo@avinewmark.com or call 917-512-5442."
