The 21st South Bay Music Awards celebrates two decades of recognizing outstanding

achievements in independent music. Since its humble beginnings in 2003, this event has evolved

into the world’s premier platform for independent artists, providing them with the recognition

and visibility they deserve.

This year’s event, themed “Bringing the Beach to the Sunset Strip,” will feature a tribute to

the late Jack Russell, honoring his contributions to the music world. The tribute band includes

Sean McNabb (Producer’s Choice Bass Player of the Year), Roni Lee (Producer’s Choice

Female Vocalist of the Year), and Ronny North (Producer’s Choice Guitarist of the Year).

In addition to the tribute, we will be honoring:

Robert Sarzo, rock legend, with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his unparalleled

contributions to rock music.

Sean McNabb, Producer’s Choice Bass Player of the Year, celebrated for his

impressive work with bands like Dokken, Great White, and Quiet Riot.

Ron Whitaker, recipient of the Pioneer Award-Drummer and Music Producer, for

his remarkable achievements as an actor, producer, and award-winning drummer.

Live performance by Keith St. John- is an American rock singer, songwriter, best known for his

work as the frontman for the hard rock bands Montrose and Burning Rain. Plus more live

performances to be announced.

This year, we are also excited to announce RedMoon One, who has been nominated for several

awards, including:
