Time again for my annual musical nerd post. After a stellar 2015, this year was a bit of a letdown. I saw 25 acts this year, down from 30 in 2015. I did see quite a few acts for the first time in 2016, but only one blew me away. Most disappointing though is that I only caught one show in a new venue (new to me). Oh well, here is to a better 2017!
