This year’s Listen Up Awards is set to take place at Cohoes Music Hall in Cohoes, NY on March 26th. Nominate as many Capital Region artists/bands as you would like. Once the nomination process ends, the top five artists from each category will be selected as this year’s Listen Up nominee. If an artist won a Listen Up Award last year, they will not be eligible for an award in the same category this year.

The Listen Up Awards is a peoples choice music award ceremony celebrating local talent in the Capital Region created by Mirth Films and Radio Radio X. Your Vote, Your Choice. The inaugural Listen Up Awards was hosted on June 17th, 2022 at Lark Hall in Albany, NY opening the doors to hundreds of fans and musicians. To go along with the awards, each year features multiple live performances. Even with this being a people’s choice style award show, we have gone even farther to keep things fair. Winners of a Listen Up award can not be nominated the next year and the live performers cannot be an act that is nominated for that selected year.
