Welcome to my first annual “Best Of LIVE @ THE DRIVE“. I’m so excited to bring you this list. One of my favourite things to do on air is expose great live music to Kingstonians. 2009 was an unbelievable year as more and more bands made their way into the 98.9 THE DRIVE studio. Whether it be fantastic local Kingston bands, talented Canadian artists, or one American band that had the honour of opening for Neil Young, we were treated to some amazing performances. Now the tough part, choosing this list. Honourable mentions go out to Chris Koster, Amanda Rheaume, Owl Farm, In-Flight Safety, and You Say Party!We Say Die. Although I enjoyed them all, have a listen to my Top 10 Favourites from last year!
