- **Event Name**: 2026 Motif RI Music Awards! 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 30 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: The 2026 Motif Rhode Island Music Awards are here! We are so proud to announce this year’s nominees. Rhode Island might be small, but our music community is mighty, and it is such an honor to shine a light on the artists, venues, and industry movers that make our little state such a special place.

Voting is now open– you can cast your ballot here: https://motifri.com/2026musicawards/

As always, the nomination process is community-driven: we reach out to local venue owners and bookers, labels, music writers, radio hosts, and scene tastemakers across the state to gather their picks. From there, we compile the results, verify eligibility, tally everything up, and—boom—your nominees. This year, we contacted over 200 sources and heard back from more than 60. 

You may also notice a few familiar names missing. This is due to our Legends Program, where acts that have won three consecutive years take a one-year break to make room for new voices. This year, The Providence Drum Troupe, The Quahogs, Jake Hunsinger and the Rock Bottom Band, Dudemanbro, Jabbawaukee, and People Eating Plastic are sitting out to give others a shot. 

Now it’s up to you. Vote, share, and celebrate Rhode Island music. 💛
