Panthy Music Awards On Sunday
Fort Worth Weekly announces its Music Award winners on Sunday afternoon in the Tilt Room at the Shipping & Receiving Bar. The pre-party is for musicians who play in one of the nominated bands.

Regardless, everybody is invited to the after-party beginning at 7 pm at Shipping & Receiving, featuring a song swap among the musicians and lots of drinking and carrying on.
