I've been keeping you up to date on Domain Hall of Fame member David Castello's return to the music business ever since the Castello Cities Internet Network (CCIN) co-founder moved to Nashville (CCIN owns Nashville.com) in the summer of 2011 to manage the career of upcoming  singer/guitarist/songwriter BREE and play drums in her raucous rock trio (all while David remains active in CCIN affairs).

 in Nashville last spring (You can see the video here). 

BREE and her band have made tremendous progress since then (their video for "Whisky" has passed 386,000 page views on YouTube) and they appear to be on the verge of a major breakout.  The latest milestone was reached Tuesday when BREE was nominated for the 2012 RAW Nashville Musician of the Year Award. 

The national RAWards Indie Arts program is a massive undertaking that recognizes outstanding new artists in multiple disciplines across the U.S. Three to five semi-final nominees are selected in each craft (music, film, fashion and many others) with the nominees then taking part in a November 15th showcase in their city (54 shows across the nation on the same night!). The Nashville showcase will be held from 7pm-midnight 

November 15th at the Mercy Lounge at One Cannery Row. The local community will cast a live vote as will three local judges, invited by RAW. Those combined votes will determine who will represent their town in the RAWards Finals that will be held in Hollywood, California in January.
