The nominations for the South Australian Music Awards, or SAMs, are out and they’re a reminder of just how much home-grown musical talent we have in our state.
On the back of their recent Eurovision quest, Electric Fields has been nominated for three awards across People’s Choice and SAM Awards categories, while Horror My Friend lead the nominations with recognition across six categories this year.
Acts in the running for the prestigious Best Release Award include multiple contenders Adrian Eagle, Wing Defence, and MANE who has also been nominated for Best Song.
Music SA CEO Lisa Bishop said: “Our 2019 finalists are a true representation of the quality and diversity of artists coming from our local landscape and, as a UNESCO City of Music, it is an exciting time to be part of the South Australian music scene. I congratulate all of our finalists and look forward to celebrating with everyone at the gala event on November 22,” she said.
