Voting has ended for the 2008 Cincinnati Entertainment Awards. Winners in 16 publicly chosen categories and three Critical Achievement categories will be announced at the 12th annual CEAs Nov. 23 at the historic Emery Theater in Over-the-Rhine.
This year's CEAs will also celebrate the 65th anniversary of King Records, starting with an opening performance by Bootsy Collins and friends doing a tribute to King's most famous artist, James Brown. Bluegrass legend and former King recording artist Ralph Stanley will close the evening performing with his band, the Clinch Mountain Boys. Also scheduled to perform are CEA nominees Eclipse, The Seedy Seeds and The Sundresses.
Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show begins at 7. Tickets are now on sale for $20 general admission and include access to the infamous CEA Afterparty.
