YEAR IN REVIEW
This is an attempt to list a few favorites, not a “best of” list. I can’t say I’ve gotten a chance to hear everyone’s record, and I definitely didn’t see every show I wanted to. There are so many good bands around nowadays it’s hard to keep track- thanks for making local music so special.
