The 9th Annual Best of Saint John Music Poll award nominees were announced this morning on The Mixed Tape, a program hosted by Brian Cleveland on Saint John’s community radio station Local 107.3 FM. The awards celebrate Saint John music makers, events, venues, radio programs and just about everything related to the community’s vibrant music scene.
