As we mentioned Thursday, Houstonโ€™s music scene is so vast that when we draft the Houston Press Music Awards ballot each year, unfortunately a few deserving artists are bound to slip through our dragnet. Thatโ€™s precisely why we created the Readerโ€™s Choice category; itโ€™s an opportunity for our readers to throw their support behind the equally deserving acts we might have missed.

Now thatโ€™s what weโ€™re asking you to do here. If your favorite act somehow didnโ€™t appear on Thursdayโ€™s ballot, now is the time to speak up. Weโ€™d prefer the votes be left on the comment scroll on this article, but if youโ€™re more the Facebook type, thatโ€™s fine too. Just please help us out โ€” one vote per person, and one artist per vote. By all means, though, encourage your friends to vote for their favorites too. Nominations will close at noon on Monday.

Chris Gray is the former Music Editor for the Houston Press.
