Best MALE VOCALIST
Pete Kilpatrick
It’s great to be wrong. Set in my ways, I assumed this category was Dave Gutter’s for the taking now that Rustic are back stomping around. Looks like I’ve underestimated Pete Kilpatrick yet again. It’s not hard: His aw-shucks demeanor and easy stage presence belie this man-with-a-plan's will to succeed. We can hardly call him our own anymore (and, girls, just because you’ve created a doll of Pete that you sleep with at night doesn’t mean he’s yours, either). He’s already nabbed a Boston Music Award nomination and won a Boston contest that landed him a deal with Epic Records. Just look at the numbers — as in 17,000 discs sold. Can it be long before he forsakes his Portland home and heads out to hit the big time? No way. He’s too nice a guy for that. Although I guess I’ve been wrong about him before.
