Best of 2021

This year was a pivotal one. The toll of 2020 carried over for a lot of us, but the music still happened. And so did our commitment to covering everything we could during a crazy time.

No Treble launched a campaign to see if we could keep going in 2022 (and beyond), and readers supported that in a huge way. That campaign is still going as we try to reach our goal, but it is safe to say we’re going to stick around. We cannot thank you all enough for this.

Our commitment to being heavily reader-focused turned into a bigger reality this year, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

We’re looking forward to 2022, and we wish you a very happy new year.

In the meantime, here’s a roundup of the best of 2021 on No Treble.
