Secret Ghost Champion fluidly blends diverse genres –– progressive rock, psychedelia, folk, and pop –– with striking emotional depth and often all in the same song. But unlike many avant-garde acts, SGC never hides behind effects. Instead, the band lets its feverish finger-tapping guitar solos and grandiose, sweeping arrangements do the talking

For the past 17 years, the Fort Worth Weekly has been celebrating the wonderful talent in our backyard via our Music Awards, in which readers vote for their favorite artists in genres as diverse as rock and hip-hop, jazz and folk.

As part of the awards every year, we throw a massive FREE daylong concert in the West 7th corridor. Featuring 48 bands -- all nominees and all from Fort Worth (or close enough) -- our Music Awards Festival is the largest celebration of Fort Worth music in the world. This year's event is Sunday, June 22, at eight venues in the West 7th corridor: Capital Bar, Fred's Texas Cafe, The Grotto, Lola's Saloon, Magnolia Motor Lounge, Poag Mahone's, The Pour House, and Rodeo Goat.

The festival also will mark the official release of Frequencies, Vol. 5, our latest annual charity comp CD featuring new or previously unrecorded tracks by select nominees, including Ronnie Heart, FOGG, Jetta in the Ghost Tree, Leon Bridges, Slumberbuzz, The Fibs, Huffer, and more, all recorded live at Eagle Audio on the Near Southside. Proceeds from the $5-a-pop sale of the discs will go toward this year's charity sponsor, the Tarrant Area Food Bank.

See ya on June 22!
