Photos: Best of the Beat Music Business Awards

The week before the Best of the Beat Awards, people who stay mostly behind the scenes of the New Orleans music community were honored at the Best of the Beat Music Business Awards.

Representatives from WWOZ, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Foundation, Tropical Isle, Esplanade Studios, Guitar Center, Basin Street Records, and more were all on hand.

While the Guitar Center guys tripped and fell their way onto the stage to accept their award, entertainment lawyer Ashlye M. Keaton hopped right up on stage to accept her award for Best Music Attorney and landed steadily on her high heels.

Check out some other great moments from the event, which was held January 17, 2015, at the beautiful New Orleans Jazz Market in Central City.
