Them Coulee Boys won over the hearts of the Chippewa Valley for the third straight year! Keep your eyes peeled for their new album, recorded locally at the legendary Pachyderm Studios, coming out later this year. The runners-up, North of Dixie Bluegrass Band, entice audiences with their original songs and a mix of old-time jazz, swing, bluegrass, and anything else that tickles their fancy. The Seeger Boys, in third, are a family devoted to old-school bluegrass, creating tight harmonies and intricate instrumentals for seamless performances. — Katy Hackworthy
