            <title>2008 Fame Games Effigy Awards - Best Blues Rock Artist</title>
            <link>http://mikeparrish.us/news.html#187</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE <br />January 17,2008 <br /><br />MIKE PARRISH WINS 2008 INTERNATIONAL FAME GAMES EFFIGY AWARD FOR BEST BLUES ROCK ARTIST Marbella, Spain&nbsp;</p><br /><p>Mike Parrish is very pleased to announce that he has been awarded the 2008 International Fame Games Radio Effigy Award for BEST BLUES ROCK ARTIST. "Texas in the Man" was submitted to Fame Games in 2007 and, although the song is the title track from Mike's solo album, this song is actually a collaboration between Mike and his lifelong friend Sammy Hundley. In fact, "Texas in the Man" is the first actual Parrish-Hundley song ever written and recorded. "I'm very pleased to receive the 2008 Effigy Award for Best Blues Rock Artist and both Sammy and I are completely honored because of the caliber of artists who are continually featured on the show. There were thousands of nominees for these awards so I have to say that I was honored just to have become one of the five finalists in the Blues Rock category but even more so honored to have actually won the award. First and foremost, I wish to thank our fans because without their continued love and support none of this could happen - ever, I'd like to thank the reviewers, the expert panel of judges, including Mr. Tony Cowell and the entire International Fame Games crew for their awesome support and endless dedication to bringing independent artists to the worldwide stage. I want to especially thank Sammy Hundley who, I feel, should have been named as a co-recipient of this prestigious and coveted award as well. Sammy and I wrote, recorded and routinely perform this song together but it ended up on my first solo album. We've talked about re-releasing the song on the forthcoming Parrish-Hundley project and we've also discussed capturing it live from one of the shows." Over 80,000 votes were cast to decide this year's Fame Games Effigy Award winners. Mike Parrish was also the 2007 International Fame Games Effigy Award Winner for MOST POPULAR ARTIST and Sammy Hundley was the 2007 Effigy Award Winner for BEST ACOUSTIC ARTIST for his song entitled "Never Letting Go" from the acoustic album "House Full of Nothing. "The Fame Games indie music showcase is produced and hosted in Marbella, Spain and has the largest worldwide audience of any radio show of its kind. That's why it's now widely considered to be the best indie gig in the world! Produced by the crew at Mere Music International, Fame Games is an increasingly important international A&amp;R platform as well as a great PR tool for the participating artists. The Fame Games mission is to give the best independent artists radio play based on merit, the way it was always supposed to be.
