Boston Music Awards 2009
Date: December 2, 2009
Venue: The Liberty Hotel, Boston
There was a lot of music – four rooms of it – to take in at the 22d annual Boston Music Awards at the Liberty Hotel Wednesday night. If navigating the hotel’s labyrinthine hallways and overworked elevators made seeing and hearing all of it a challenge, the payoff proved worthwhile.
