Anybody who’s made a trip or two to other midsized cities around the country knows that this town has its fair share of musical variety and originality, so it’s really no surprise that such hardy talents are vying for this year’s entertainment awards. But if the newbies on the block competing for the “New Artist of the Year” category at Bogart’s on Jan. 18 were any indication of the showmanship and quality rising in the ranks, it’s probably safe to say that any winners at this weekend’s event are going to have one hell of a 2013. Come on out to the Madison Theater and see Ted Clark host the most jam-packed awards show ever. $20 general admission; $50 VIP pass includes some extra goodies. 6 p.m. doors, 7 p.m. show. 730 Madison Ave., Covington. 859-491-2444, madisontheateronline.com.
