2020 was, without a doubt, a complete dumpster fire of a year. For the past 9 months a global pandemic has run rampant taking far too many innocent lives and destroying far too many livelihoods in the process.
It is definitely a challenging time to be a music lover as well. The days of summer music festivals and taking in shows at small, intimate, independent venues feel like a distant memory. An alarming percentage of these venues are also in danger of closing, further dampening independent musicians’ career prospects.
Despite these insurmountable odds, the artists that we hold near and dear to our hearts came through. 2020 offered a plethora of great music from all genres and made getting through this shitshow of a year just a little bit easier. I listened to well over 100 new releases this year and here are the albums that I thought were a cut above the rest.

On Wednesday, March 11th I was with my wife at SPACE in Evanston to take in a show by singer-songwriter Tyler Ramsey. While we were waiting for the show to start, I received a notification on my phone that said the NBA would be canceling the remainder of the season. Little did I know that that Tyler Ramsey show would be the last concert I would attend in 2020.
As the months progressed and we spent most of our time at home, I found myself listening to the music that was made closest to our home. Support local music and support your local record store.
