Another fantastic Eureka Springs Music Awards ceremony in the books.
Now that it's over and it's time for dinner, come on by New Delhi restaurant for some good eats, and while you're there be sure to let Billo and his crew know that they are much appreciated for their sponsorship and support of live music in Eureka Springs.
They were our official after-party sponsor and are having the official after after-party at New Delhi as we speak.
New Delhi hosts live music on a regular basis. Check out their schedule and go enjoy some amazing artists! 🎶🎵🎼

It's heeeere!
The April issue of the Eureka! Magazine is all things ESMA.
Front cover, back cover, centerfold, articles, and tons of awesome pictures from last year's awards ceremony.
There are many places where you can pick up a copy, but a few specific places who are big supporters and sponsors of the 2026 Eureka Springs Music Awards are New Delhi, Basin Park Hotel, Crescent Hotel, Carroll County News in Berryville, the AUD, and Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce.
Just when we thought last year's issue couldn't be beat, they did an even better job this year!
Go grab your copy today, before they are gone!

Yet another local merchant has reached out in support of the ESMAs!
Ron Lutz, with Studio 62 Art Gallery, has generously donated TWO of his handmade guitars for another raffle at this year's ceremony on April 12th.
All you have to do for a chance to win one of these awesome pieces is make a $5 donation at the raffle table in the lobby and you will receive a ticket for the drawing.
You will also receive a 2026 ESMA sticker (while supplies last).
The lap steel is a 6 string with a plywood body and a sycamore fret bar.
The Cigar Box is a fretless 3 string.
The first draw winner will have their choice of whichever guitar they would like, and the second draw winner will receive the other one.
This drawing will be completely separate from the drawing for the awesome merchandise that Todd the Music Guy donated. Therefore, you will have options to enter both drawings and increase your chances of walking out with some really cool stuff!
Go by Studio 62 at 335 W. Van Buren (next door to the Bavarian Inn) and check out the amazing handmade instruments and photography by Ron Lutz, and the stunning paintings by Jody Stephenson.

THANK YOU Ron & Jody for your generous support of music in Eureka Springs. 👏

Hey all! We are extending our sponsorship deadline for one more week to March 31st.
Many people do not realize that we have a "Musician's Friend" sponsorship available for those who would like to sponsor as an individual. This sponsorship gets your name listed in our printed ceremony program that is handed out to each person who attends the ceremony, as well as listed on our website. This sponsorship is only $25.
We have also had a few individuals this year who have purchased the "Silver" sponsorship package ($125) and are using their business card size ad in the program for dedications such as "in memory of...", "in honor of...", etc...
This sponsorship ad can also be used for anything you want to use it for. You can wish nominees luck, congratulate them, promote your own performances, list your performance schedules, etc...
It also gets you two free tickets to the ceremony that can be used by anyone you wish.

Sponsorships and ads may be paid for by cash, check, or Venmo.
We will be putting the program together on April 1st, so all ads and payments must be received by March 31st.
Please message us here on FB if you would like to sponsor.

Sponsorship is what allows us to continue being able to present the Eureka Springs Music Awards ceremony year after year, as a way to recognize and honor all of the amazing artists, promoters, and venues who bring Eureka Springs alive with music. 🎼🎵🎶

GREAT NEWS!!!
Todd The Music Guy has once again donated a brand new guitar package (D'Angelico Premiere) for a drawing at the 2026 Eureka Springs Music Awards on April 12th at the AUD. The brand new package includes the guitar, a soft shell carrying case, a guitar strap, and a pick.
He also went even farther above and beyond this year and added some runner-up prizes, including a Tech 21 Acoustic Fly Rig Multi-FX Pedal, a TTMG ball cap, and two T-shirts.
Anyone who purchases a 2026 ESMA sticker for $5 at the ceremony (no limit) will get a ticket for the drawing to be held at the end of the program.
PLEASE NOTE: TICKETS FOR THE DRAWING WILL BE CASH ONLY. PLEASE COME PREPARED.
We are truly grateful to Todd not only for his sponsorship and support of the ESMAs, but for his consistency in providing our artists with quality, well priced musical equipment and accessories year-round at his store.
He is fully stocked with a large variety of items. Go see him for your musical needs at 209 S Main in Berryville, between the movie theater & Good Times Pizza.
