There were so many great artists at this year’s festival. Each one brought something unique to the table for our listening pleasure. How do you choose just one Artist of the Year from all the fantastic talent  we’ve had this year? The decision was difficult, but Holy Water Buffalo will be 2012 Artist of the Year.
