The Ones to Watch 2017: Part One

_____________________

WE are heading into the New Year with a candid mix of…

hopefulness and anxiety. There has been some music-related heartache and loss; we have witnessed some incredible albums and truly awesome moments – quite a balance from one of the most memorable years in recent memory. New musicians and talent are exciting and showing just what the future holds in store. With other publications and sites collating their ‘Ones to Watch 2017’ I thought I’d pitch in. In this first part, I put together some of the bands, artists and D.J.s I feel will be having a productive and accomplished next year – those we should all be keeping an eye out for.
