T he announcement of the nominees for the 49th New Zealand Music Awards is a timely remainder of just what a good year 2014 has been for homegrown music.Yes, Lorde inevitably casts a giant shadow over the Vodafone-sponsored event – she’s up for fiveTuis – but there are strong contenders in virtually every music category. And our world-conquering pop princess is not the only nominee who has enjoyed success and acclaim overseas. Popera sensations Sol3 Mio, for example, are also up for five awards, while Broods,The Naked And Famous andTiny Ruins have picked up three a-piece. Other multiple nominees include Ladi6 and David Dallas, who have picked up four nominations apiece, Stan Walker (3), Liam Finn (2), House Of Shem (2) and TamaWaipara (2). And we’re also pleased to see artists as diverse as Blacklistt, Doprah, @Peace

and Clap Clap Riot are also in the running at this year’s VMNZA. Hopefully, you will already have heard a fair few of the nominated albums already, but if you haven’t there is no need to wait until the awards: you will always find the best homegrown music at JB Hi Fi! Of course, theTuis also offer the opportunity to celebrate greats from the past as well and Supergroove is the deserved recipient of this year’s Legacy Award.You will be able to catch them live next year on the winery tour, but if you need a refresher course, now is the time to perfect time revisit their greatest hits on CD. The venue for this year’s awards is once again Auckland’s Vector Arena and if you can’t make it to the November 20 show, remember you can watch all the action live on Four. JB Listener
