the A.W. 2007 Exceptional Musician's/Bands List


This is the 7th year for the A.W.’s yearly, Exceptional Musician’s/Band List for talent in the Northern New York area. A small staff of music friends visit talent from St. Lawrence, Jefferson, and Oswego Counties, managing to make appearances at roughly 70 gigs a year. The Musicians and Bands on this list are groups that our small staff have seen live, heard online or on a CD.

Remember that this list is all in fun, with the hope to give accomplishments to those who work hard and show the true spirit of music. Congratulations to all of those who keep local music alive. --A.W.
