Best Country Band/Artist

Chris Kroeze’s runner-up performance on The Voice in 2018 took the area by storm. It was the catalyst for his continued success as an artist, and we’re all happy to be on the ride with him. Second and third place go respectively to Crimson Theory and 3 Beers Down, two bands holding it down for country music in the area every weekend. It’s bands like them that keep fans satiated with country tune goodness. —Parker Reed
