For music lovers, 2020 will forever be looked upon as the year of great disruption of our industry in particular, with worldwide festivals suspending and every stadium, auditorium, large and medium-sized venue and dive bar alike all shuttered with little relief or ability to forecast when operations can resume. Artists, however, continued to create as best they could and many who already had releases in the works bravely forged ahead, adjusting to the circumstances. We did our best to cover as many L.A.-based artists and bands as our finger-typing allowed, even expanding our team (big tip of the hat to our stalwart and enthusiastic new contributors Chris Arey, Haley Bosselman, Byron Gonzalez and Hanh Truong).

So this year, given all circumstances, we covered more than 650 local artists and four compilations spanning the Southern California region, from Santa Barbara to the High Desert to San Diego. 

For easy reference, here are other lists of music and visuals that were Popular With Us in 2020:
