Weingarten (1,000 times yes) – Marc Hutner (Ascap) – Brandon Haas (BMI) – Jamie Dominguez (SESAC) – Trevor Silmser (The Studio at Webster Hall).
The following Deli writers cast their vote as well: Andrew Spaulding, Erin O’Keefe, Nancy Chow, Paul Dunn, Ryan Henriquez, Liz Schroeter, Simon Heggie, Nicholas Palumbo, Joe Coscarelli, Lauren Piper, Charles Davis, Lindsey Goetz, Chloe Schildhouse.
Thank you to all the bands who participated to our poll either by submitting to the open contest or be simply being selected, and thanks to all the fans and Deli readers that animated our fans’ poll.
NYC Deli Editor in Chief Paolo De Gregorio also voted as part of the jury (we don’t really need to thank him, as he’s writing this!). Many other scene makers and Deli writers were asked to vote and – for a reason or another – they didn’t; we point this out because we want you all to realise that also this element (the missing votes) had a crucial influence on the results.
