Itâs been very easy to feel overwhelmed in 2020, when it seems like the rules get rewritten every day â by a global pandemic, a long-overdue public conversation about systemic racism and more. But faced with an industry and a society undergoing all kinds of turbulence, musicians and business folk across Nashvilleâs constellation of music scenes responded with ingenuity and compassion. Even though thereâs still much work to be done, thereâs a great deal to take away from this extraordinary year â and to be proud of. In our Year in Music issue, we get perspective from outstanding musicians Kyshona Armstrong, Lilly Hiatt and Becca Mancari; our critics take stock of the yearâs top local albums; we hand the mic to an array of singers, songwriters and others in our annual Rock ânâ Roll poll; and much more.
