On Nov. 21 at Covington’s Madison Theater, Cincinnati Entertainment Awards were presented in 19 categories. An even mix of previous CEA victors (Freekbass, Dallas Moore Band, Ricky Nye) and first-time nominees (I Am the Messenger, Mad Anthony, Pop Empire), winners received the trademark CEA “trophy,” a groovy hand-painted faux-“Gold Record” plaque.
A number of nominees also performed, including Moore, Kim Taylor, No No Knots, The Guitars, The Pinstripes, The Cincy Brass and Foxy Shazam, who took home three awards, including Artist of the Year (pictured).
