NEA = Nashville Entertainment Association. The Nashville Music Awards are for entertainers, out of Nashville, in recognition of their achievements for a specific period during the previous year. Both sites have all the info about who/what they are. <A HREF="http://www.nea.net/">http://www.nea.net/</A> (NEA site) <A HREF="http://www.nashvillemusicawards.org/"> http://www.nashvillemusicawards.org/</A> (Awards site) I like both events cause they're more in line with the music/writers that I like (as opposed to AMA, CMA, or Grammy events). Further, there aren't as many commercially oriented acts on the ballot. AND, it all happens in Nashville.
