The WMRC Local Music Awards, featuring limos and red carpet entrances, made local acts feel like stars for a day. The 2nd annual event was held at PiNZ.
More than 30 local artists and acts took part in a red carpet, limousine-ferried entrance and friendly competition at PiNZ Sunday, for the 2nd annual WRMC Local Music Awards. The event celebrates and recognizes local artists, including bands with at least one member from Milford, or who play at Milford venues. For many, the night was a great time to celebrate local performance, whether it's a cover band, a tribute band or original music. Jeff Royds, nominated in two categories Sunday, for Best Local Mobile DJ, and Best Local Acoustic Act, and his wife, Cassandra, came to PiNZ to "support local music." Royds has been playing music since he was 12, and he said the local music scene has died back in the past decade, with many people no longer…

Nearly 100 bikers rode to Wachusett Mountain in the 2nd annual Matthew Denice Memorial Ride, while all participants, including many who didn't ride, enjoyed music, food, and raffles on Sunday.
Last year, Framingham State University graduate Matthew Denice was killed while riding his motorcycle in Milford. In his memory, nearly 100 motorcyclists from across the state rode Sunday in the 2nd annual Matthew Denice Memorial Ride, which started at PiNZ and ended at Wachusett Mountain. The participant fee of $20 raised scholarship money for Milford High School graduates who will attend Framingham State University. Denice, 23, was a graduate of both schools. Although the event drew fewer bikers than the 300-plus last year, the rain may have been a factor. All participants enjoyed live music, food, and raffles.

Vince Wilfork helped raise an estimated $175,000 for diabetes prevention and treatment Thursday, by hosting an annual NFL draft party at PiNZ.
An evening of Patriots sightings, signings and auctioned items drew a full house to PiNZ Thursday, where fans helped Vince Wilfork raise at least $175,000 for diabetes research and prevention. Accompanied by his wife, Bianca, Wilfork addressed the standing-room crowd, saying he was overwhelmed by the show of support. "Every one of you makes this thing special for me," he said. The cause of diabetes research and treatment is close to him. Ten years ago, his wife said, his father died of complications from the disease. The money raised from the 2012 NFL Draft Party event will go to Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. The event sold out several days ago. "This is amazing," Bianca Wilfork said, looking out over the audience. "This is our biggest…

Singer Adam Lambert drew a diverse crowd that ranged in age from 8 to over 70, and many of his fans traveled far to see him in Milford.
Adam Lambert drew a crowd to PinZ on Wednesday that showed his music appeals to a wide range of people. The singer performed two songs in an acoustic set sponsored by WXLO in Worcester. The intimate setting meant fans were able to stand just a few feet from the star. About 100 people attended the show, having won tickets in a contest sponsored by the station, or through PinZ. The singer, who came to fame through American Idol, performed his hit "Whataya Want From Me?" and a new song on his upcoming release "Better Than I Know Myself."

Singer Adam Lambert thrilled a small crowd at an invitation-only acoustic event at PinZ, performing his biggest hit, and answering questions.
A relaxed, good-humored Adam Lambert answered questions, met some of his fans and performed two songs in an acoustic show Wednesday at PinZ, including his hit "Whataya Want From Me?"

New England Patriots running back Danny Woodhead drew a huge crowd of people to PinZ Tuesday, for a book signing of his life story, turned into a children's book. About 300 people attended.
Off the field, Danny Woodhead doesn't look like NFL material. But his career has shown that even small guys can succeed in professional football. The unlikely rise of the small-statured running back for the New England Patriots is the subject of a children's book: Danny Woodhead: A Football Dream Come True. On Tuesday, Woodhead kicked off publication of the book with a signing event in Milford, which drew nearly 300 people. Woodhead was joined at the signing by author Jon Goode and illustrator Rachel Gregorio. The children's book describes how Woodhead, an undersized and underestimated Nebraskan, rose professionally to become a key player for the Patriots.
