The readers picked ’em, and we did too.

We may talk lots about Americana and alt-country and all of those precious hipster things, but the 'Back 40 Band' is just country, pure and simple: NASCAR-worthy, cowboy-hat-wearing, cheap-beer-drinking, little-sticker-guy-peeing-on-Ford-worthy country music. Two-stepping, line-dancing country music. Got it?

They’ve racked up numerous local awards as perennial favorites, so here’s another one to put on the mantle (beneath the deer head).
