PLUG Independent Music Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The PLUG Independent Music Awards, or just Plug Awards, began in 2001 as a "cartel" of music lovers ranging from DJs and managers to indie retailers and fans.

This event is not in anyway associated with the / Independent Music Conference which also takes place in Philadelphia, PA.
