2016 NT Song of the Year Winners
THE NT SONG OF THE YEAR AWARDS WERE HELD LAST MONTH AT THE MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY AMPHITHEATRE, which had its non-existent roof blown off by an impressive line-up of Territory performers. Hosted by Triple J’s Dom Alessio, and presented by the legendary crew at MusicNT, the night celebrated and acknowledged the diverse musical talent spanning the Territory. Big congrats to all nominees and winners, who continually create music all Territorians can be proud of.
