Thankfully, no one has to choose alone. Every year, a committee made up of local music supporters holes up in a room and discusses/gets super-passionate about a lot of bands/solo musicians. This year’s committee members pulled from past Bands to Watch, local radio personnel and scene enthusiasts and included Gawain Fadeley, Christopher Sceaga, Matt Loi, Aaron Bocook and myself. We’re proud of this year’s batch of Bands to Watch, determined only after a four-hour-long final meeting last month. Read about our selections in the guide and make sure to catch them at the festival. — LAURA JOHNSON Inlander music editor
