The 2008 Your Music Olympicks!  Brought to you by Lyon Entertainment and Your Music Magazine, which is NOW partnered with Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.  Special thanks to our Santa Cruz sponsors: O’Neill Surf Shop, Indigital Recording Studio, Epiphone Guitars, Coffeetopia, Fringe Clothing, and Santa Cruz Skate Shop.

→SC “Best Bassist” event is decided by me, Mike Lyon.  I am the best bass player that ever lived so it only seems fitting that I should pick the Santa Cruz winners.  AND I don’t want to here any crying about it, my word is absolute.

I based my decision on skill, stage performance, recorded material, and the ability to keep the band in the pocket.  This was a much tougher decision than I thought it would be but in the end it was the flamboyant stage performers that won me over.  So, without further ado….

→GOLD goes to Finn Stobbe – Serendipity Project
SILVER Seth (Sapo Feo) – Sapos Muertos
BRONZE - Isaiah – Archer
Honorable mentions (4th and 5th) go to Rich Nettleton - Who’s Holdin’
Elliot – The Devil Himself
Serious competitors next year: Fish – 3upFront, Mike King – Cylinder, Bobby Burns – Misery and Company, Ty Oliver, Bobby Burns and the Nocturnals, Tyno Vincent – Dirty Penny, Cody Peterson – Honest Mistake.  Keep practicing; it’s working! Much respect.  If I did not mention you it does not mean you are not a good bass player, it just means you did not make enough noise.
