Support Your Local Jam Band

My email informs me that our North Shore neighbors in The Brew, who I profiled for the Globe a couple of years ago, are up for a Jammy award next week at Madison Square Garden's WaMu Theater, just a couple of weeks after their big CD release party at Harper's Ferry. The awards are announced on Monday and the jamming is on Wednesday. The Brew is nominated for Best New Groove, a tie-dyed way of saying best new artist, and the winner will be chosen by online voting that closes tonight. All of which is my way of saying go here to sample the band if you haven't heard them, then go here to vote for them.
