The Brown Edition - the Olympia band self-described as "all the soul, funk and jazz your ass can handle" - was voted best band in the Weekly Volcano's 2011 Best of Olympia readers' poll. It's a prestigious honor, to say the least. The award undoubtedly helped the band earn its latest accolade, winner of the 12th Annual Independent Music Awards' Fusion/Funk/Jam category.
Read the press release excerpt, then go find the band and give them a big hug. You'll probably find them at the Fish Tale Brew Pub.
