Local Artist Scores Big on Grammy Ballot for the Second Consecutive year!

For the second consecutive year, Tampa-based artist Scovill Avenue, fresh of their 2008 release Big House, has been placed on the Official Ballot for the 2009 Grammy Awards by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences in seven categories, including the coveted first three categories Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, respectively.

“It’s definitely an honor to Scovill Avenue and a tribute to the Bay Area,” exclaims Quincy B. Scovill, producer, writer, resident mad man, and owner of Mad Monk, Ltd, a Tampa-based independent label with several artists on its roster. “Last year we did pretty well and I told everybody that this year would be even more special!” Scovill is alluding to last year’s nomination of Mad Monk’s signature act Peasants of Posture, adding that four different songs from POP’s 2007 debut CD CounterRevolution were recognized by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Committee and placed on the Official Ballot for the 2008 Grammy Awards in four different categories. Also joining Scovill in the nominations are local artists Lorna Bracewell, Jun Bustamonte, Rick “Key Low D” Dill, Prostar Recording Studio engineer Jodi Gray, Arthur Steur, Francillia, and singer Jennifer B. Real.

“These folks helped make this happen,” Scovill jubilantly exclaims. “ProStar Recording, Mz. Fortune, Piano Man, Johnny “D.S.” Cash, local rapper Ace of Jays, Adrianne, Berkely Bob, Deb Hunsedder, Jeremy Thomas, Shelter Kidd, Betty Lou Fox, and Francillia…We helped make this happen with a concerted team effort!” Scovill is quick to add that Mad Monk, Ltd is planning to release a CD maxi-single of “Will U B Mine,” nominated for Best Dance Recording, later this year and, under the moniker Beatnik Castle. The single will feature new Mad Monk, LTD artist Francillia, as well as latin, techno, club, acoustic, and Island remixes by Scovill, Key Lo D, DJ Lenny B, and famed Miami DJ Cato K. Francillia’s full-length CD, tentatively titled “Temptation” is scheduled for release Spring 2009. Big House (and CounterRevolution) is still available through CD Baby at http://cdbaby.com/cd/scovillavenue3.
