Best of NYC poll – JURORS’ VOTE: Wet, Big Ups, The Can’t Tells

This year 27 NYC "scene experts" (including booking agents from Bowery Presents, Webster Hall, Pianos, Cake Shop etc etc) helped us with our Best of NYC Poll 2013 for Emerging Artists by choosing their 3 favorite up and coming local acts. These jurors are comprised industry people who work with many local bands throughout the year (we’ll publish the list soon), and their vote is the most influencial in determining The Deli’s Best Emerging Artist of the Year.

Their votes this year produced a list of 60+ artists, which means that – as always – most jurors voted for different bands. But some bands appeared more than once in the "ballots": below we compiled a list of the artists who accumulated more points through the jurors vote only. Kudos to quirky Electro-Soul trio WET (pictured and streaming) for getting the top spot, and to Punk Rockers Big Ups and Indie Poppers The Can’t Tells for getting darn close, tied in second place!

After crunching the numbers of all the votes that came in from Jurors, Deli Writers and Readers we’ll publish the final results of The Best of NYC 2013 Poll for Emerging Artists – it should just take a couple of days.
