In selecting the nominees for our Best of NYC Emerging Artists 2010 Poll from the Songwriter category we decided to be a little more generous, because many of the jurors from venues playing acoustic music we contacted (like Rockwood and Pete’s Candy Store) didn’t cast a vote for some reason. The ladies kinda trashed the gentlemen in this category (our jurors – for the record – were a boy and a girl). Thumbs up to Amber Rubarth (middle picture) and Bird Call (top picture), who tied on top of the chart, and blonde duo Lucius, who came close third. They all had an average rating above 8.
