A6extended
March: Absolute sleeper, did not expect this one to rank #1 but she puts on a hell of a show. Amazing energy throughout, great vibes and she sounds fantastic |

April: These guys had been a bucket list band for me for a while and they delivered exactly what was promised. Deafening guitars that you could feel in the air, fog for days and just a totally hypnotic performance that had the venue mesmerized. |
| 3 |  | Raphael Weinroth-Browne
Lifeblood
January: Saw him play in what used to be a small church that got converted into a community space. Beautiful location for some beautiful music, only drawback is that it was a short show |
| 4 |  | Wintersleep
Wishing Moon
June: Great set list that touched on some old classics while also giving the new album time to shine. Laser Beams and Nerves Normal, Breath Normal will never not slap live. |
| 5 |  | Oranssi Pazuzu
Muuntautuja
May: I wanted this one to score higher but it was dragged down by the venue mainly. Venue was overcrowded to the point where it was kind of uncomfortable to stand in for that long, acoustics were pretty bad which was kind of a big deal for a band that plays so much with layers and textures. I have nothing bad to say about the band itself though |
| 6 |  | The Offspring
Americana
February: These guys are fun but no "punk" show in a giant seated arena is ever going to hit as hard as it should |
