Best Folk Performer(s)

Considering their placement in this year’s poll, local favorites Them Coulee Boys might just be feeling 10 feet tall. The music, the twang, and the beards do not disappoint with another first place finish — the Boys’ sixth in a row. Jerrika Mighelle continues to write her own epic folk tale with a silver finish in this year’s poll, with the late Billy Krause — who sadly passed away last spring — bringing a strong sense of traditional folk flair to third place. —Parker Reed
