MC’s annual, eagerly awaited Hot 100 list spotlights the live performers who made us sit up and take notice in 2012. Those involved in determining the results of this year’s poll included not only Music Connection staff members, but freelance journalists, club bookers and other industry professionals from across the US. To enquire about a live review of your band, be sure to check out Music Connection’s unique, always-free AMP Social Space; it’s for musicians only—no friends or fans.
