Summer awards season: TMAs on Friday, Premios Texas on Aug. 13
The summer awards season is here with the 29th annual Tejano Music Awards set for Friday, July 17, 2009, in San Antonio’s historic La Villita Assembly Hall. Although the show has fluctuated in size and venue in recent years, the TMAs is the longest-running awards show in the Tejano industry. This year, highlights include performances by Tejano greats like Shelly Lares and Jay Perez and an anticipated, exciting debut performance from A.J. Castillo, a charismatic accordionist/vocalist with a unique soulful squeezebox sound. To get a taste of A.J.’s style, check out his just-released video for his song, “Todo Me Gusta de Ti.”
