Wavy Awards Compilation Album coming June 2022
The 2021 Wavy Awards was an invite-only red carpet event celebrating historically excluded artists, such as women, non-binary, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and artists who identify as having disabilities.
Founded by Rebecca Autumn Sansom who runs Blonde Records, an indie label repping women, GNC, and artists of color, The Wavys celebrated artists featured on Blonde Music News Seasons 1 and 2 (2020/2021)—Season 1 which was supported by our sister site, Left Bank Magazine.
Supported by The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME), the Wavy Awards took place at the Abrons Arts Center in New York City on October 23rd, 2021 and was the FIRST AWARDS SHOW to fully incorporate self-description for low vision audience members. It also featured ASL interpreters, and live-closed captioning by SignNexus.
