The City Paper Music Awards brought down the house Tuesday night at the Music Farm.

The showcase spotlighted a dozen Charleston acts spanning genres from Americana, rock and reggae to hardcore punk, pop, hip-hop, country and experimental. 

Hundreds of music lovers gathered together to celebrate all the Charleston musicians that supply the local music scene with epic tunes and memorable performances.

Performers included Fo Daniels, Emily Curtis, Guardian’s Warlock, Black Diamond Band, The Dubplates, She Returns From War, Paul Who Is Lost, Lauren Hall, Runaway Gin, Tyrie and Mel Washington.

As a bonus performance, drummer Wolfgang Zimmerman and guitarist Keon Master of Brave Baby took the stage with Paul Who Is Lost and Stop Light Observations frontman Will Blackburn to rock everyone’s socks off.

There was a lot of love in the room that night as musicians received their awards and cheered each other on. You can view the full list of winners below.
