• MAMA Awards(Madison Area Music Awards) - The Madison Area Music Awards was conceived in the summer of 2003. Rick Tvedt, the publisher of Rick’s Café, a Madison-based newspaper dedicated to local musicians and artists, had been thinking about a local award show that would better represent the sheer volume of talent he was discovering while getting Rick’s Café off the ground. It was May of that year and Tvedt was expressing his frustration over a recent Madison Music Awards show promoted by one of the city’s radio station and how it didn’t do justice to the breadth of artists in the area. At the time, Stephen Ellestad, a recent transplant from Baltimore, was assisting Tvedt with graphic design. The two were talking with Mark Adkins outside his now-defunct Brokenshit Studios on Winnebago Avenue. Adkins and Ellestad were convincing Tvedt that he was the catalyst to get such an award show off the ground. In August, the formal plans had been committed to paper for what was to become the Madison Area Music Awards. Almost immediately the organization was set up to benefit a charity, the decision being made that there was no better cause than music and kids.
