After a two-year pause, The MusicianShip is reviving the 37th Annual Wammie Music Awards on March 28, 2026, at Capital Turnaround in D.C., celebrating standout DMV music from 2024–2025 with a refreshed, community-driven awards process and a week of free events leading up to the ceremony.

The DMV isn’t emerging—it’s asserting itself. January 2026 highlights a region powered by community-driven creators, smarter music business practices, and independent media finally telling the story with depth and respect.
