Locals Win Wammies

Baltimore was well represented at last night's 24th annual Washington Area Music Association Awards. Rumba Club won "Best Latin Group," Jah Works took the "Best Reggae Group" prize, and Junkyard Saints tied (with the Patty Reese Band) for "Best Roots Rock Group."

Man-about-town Brian Simms—who plays with the Saints, Milkshake, Reese, and others—was named "Musician of the Year."

Congrats.
