Making a Scene Presents Viola Krouse’s Best Releases of 2019

Viola Krouse lists her favorite releases for 2019 and they made the list for three important reasons; first, they are damn good, second, the music crossed her record player at some point during the year, and third, they made an impact. The top of the list contains the albums or songs that are sure to stand the test of time. They have been worn through from many hours of replay, some staying in play for many an hour on the road. Viola is a road warrior of sorts who connects with the artists, venues, and people responsible for keeping great music alive. It really does take a village. Thank you for supporting independent artists and the people who make it happen.
