Best Musical Performance (touring or local)
There were literally thousands of musical performances over the past 365 days in the Chippewa Valley. Some good, some mid, and some downright fantastic. Them Coulee Boys at Blue Ox Music Festival perfectly encapsulates the latter, cementing their status as the area’s favorite bluegrass/country band. Anna and Big Boys at Riverfest/Pure Water Days was a family-friendly good time with Resonate at Riverfest/Pure Water Days coming in third. That event really should be on your calendar in 2025. —Parker Reed
