Your Guide to the Observer Awards

It’s that time of year again! Assuming you aren’t from Dallas, or you are from Dallas but have no clue what I am talking about; it’s time to cast your vote for the Dallas Observer Music Awards!   

Every year the Dallas Observer pieces together a ballot of honorees ranging across the eclectic Dallas music scene. With that being said, I think it is only right for the folks here at The Urban Advocate to put together a little cheat sheet. This is not a category-by-category guide, but this will get most of it filled in for you. 

Keep in mind that you can vote daily for whomever you please, but when have we ever steered you wrong?

Vote once daily until November 2nd at 2am!!!
