The Pearl Awards
« on: July 20, 2005, 02:20:10 PM »
[Shameless Plug]

Anyone here planning on attending the Pearl Awards ceremony this year?  I don't know how musically inclined this forum is, but I figure someone might be going, or some of you might at least be familiar with them.

For those who don't know what the Pearl Awards are:
http://www.pearlawards.com/

Sounds like they'll be hosting a very nice dinner for the Awards this year.

In addition, my sister (April Meservy) has been nominated for two different awards (Best Contemporary Recording and Best Studio Vocalist).  Last year she won the award for Best Studio Vocalist.

I'd attend, but my Dad is taking us boys on a very long vacation up to BC, and so I'm wondering if anyone else will be there to see the proceedings.

What ever happened to that Israel Curtis guy she did vocals for once?  Or was that a different sister?

Same sister.  Israel's currently finishing up a CD with Justin Ellswick (sp), known as "Sleepthief".  I think April and He are planning on working together more in the future, though right now she's working on her own CD, largely in conjunction with Sam Cardon.

Justin's the one with all the money, and so even though I've a hunch Israel's doing most of the work, Justin's name is going on the album.  You can hear samples (and watch a music video) of their work at www.sleepthiefmusic.com.

The website confused me. Do you have to be a volunteer to go to the Pearl Awards? I didn't see anything about just attending, only information on how to volunteer. And I think the date for the Gala was June 20--but that is past already. All I can say is: huh?

Maybe JadeKnight can shed some light (heh, I rhymed  ;D).

I'm pretty sure it hasn't happened yet.  Might even be this weekend, but I don't know.  I'd email them.  I'm pretty sure it's open to the general public, but I don't really know much about it.

Seeing as I'm not in Utah, I wont be going.

If it's this weekend, I won't be able to go either. I won't be back in Provo for at least another week.

I don't know when it is.  I'll ask my sister next time I hear from her.

Update:  Pearl Awards were tonight.

My sister walked away with the award for both Best Studio Vocalist and Best Contemporary Recording.  Congratulations, April!

Yay for your sister, JK! I liked the free downloads of her music I got--perhaps when I start making money again and have a little extra I will be able to buy a CD.

Her CD's STILL not out, after about two years...

You should write her and beg for samplers. She'd love it.

How did she win an award if she doesn't have a CD out? From performances?  ???

That is a preposterous and unfitting question! How dare you think of such profound things to ask!

:-/... Erm, I really don't know the answer.

She does perform a lot, but that shouldn't have anything to do with winning Best Studio Vocalist or Best Contemporary Recording...

I think it has to do with all the random tracks that're out there, like she's on EFY about four times, things like that. She also gives out lots and lots and lots of sampler CDs.
