Best Folk Performer(s)

I’ve performed music locally for more than a decade, but my good friend Tyler can’t remember my music and instead raves about Them Coulee Boys to me constantly. I take it in the chin, because they’re just that good. The Chippewa Valley’s vote for second-best folk performer of the year is Wyatt Thomson, whose new album is garnering attention from listeners locally and beyond. In third place is the ever-reliable, uber-talented area favorite Jerrika Mighelle. —Parker Reed
