Best Drummer: Colin Ryan (Lowlight) The first time I saw this guy play three years ago at the Court Tavern, he cracked his cymbal. I was like, ‘Damn, this roots band has a hard-rockin’ drummer,” which is one of the many things that continues to set Low- light apart. Best Bassist: Chris Dubrow Chris plays with The Burns, Avery Mandeville and the Man Devils, and Tara Dente & The Blind Pilots. With all those credits keeping him busy on the bass, Dubrow certainly is one of New Jersey’s most productive players, especially when he also plays with Rachel Ana Dobken, Foes of FERN, and Dave Mooney & Viewers Like You.
