The second Elimination Round of the Winery Music Awards was held at Don Thiessen's Stacked Stone Vineyard just up Peachy

Canyon Road near where story tells that outlaw Jessy James was known to hang his hat. In fact that is a story we will tell you

about in an new history past and present on cowboy wine country and hot springs and Indians we are writing...now back to the

music...as I was impressed with the overall talent on at the first round of the Winery Music Awards, again this round had some

great bands, which included Andy Hill & Renee Safier & Hard Rain, Machine, Dominic Castillo & The Rock Savants, Delaney

Gibson and Amber Norgaard.

In a recent article event producer Kathy Kelly answered one of the questions below:

NEW TIMES What is your long-term goal for the Winery Music Awards?

KELLY I think I'd like to see this really become the Sundance for musicians based on the Central Coast. And what that means is that, as this expands, I'd like to expand it to artists within particular genres because right now it's all genres across the board. I'd like to expand it so you could have just jazz as a genre, you could have adult contemporary, you could have rock, you can have country, you can have all different genres where we can have winners in different categories because it is very difficult to pick one winner out of all those bands.
