Ana Lee is WMOT’s ear to the ground for emerging and local artists working in our remarkable hometown, and she filters all she hears – live and on record – into the Local Brew, the weekly show and daily feature she’s hosted since April of 2019. Now she’s taken stock of 2020 and picked ten albums particularly worthy of remembering as the year comes to a close.
For Ana Lee, and for the artists she surveys, it’s been a year of adapting, interpreting and feeling deeply. “I’ve been blown away by the level of commitment from these artists who want to say how they feel, and I think that is so important because we get comfort from that, at least I do,” she says. “When I hear a song that moves me, I will play it over and over, and I saw that en masse this year.”
