Thanks to all of the musical acts that participated in this year's RFT Music Showcase, all those who were nominated for an award this year, everyone who attended the show and voted for their favorites, all the venues in the Grove who hosted the event and most of all you for caring enough about St. Louis' local music scene to be reading this right now. Each year we work hard to present the best and brightest that St. Louis has to offer, and we couldn't do it without all of the above. Congratulations to the winners of the 2014 RFT Music Awards.
