We're finishing off our Sweet Sixteen round of March Madness with the Music conference semi-finals. What does that mean? What began as 16 of our favorite musicians is now down to four. Though we think they're all winners (seriously, you should be listening to each and every one of them), just like the college basketball tournament going on right now this is single-elimination, so the two who nab the most votes this round move on to conference finals--and then the Final Four!
Follow along with our brackets by
downloading and printing your own copy here, but not before you vote for both head-to-head contests--scroll all the way down to make sure all of your picks are counted.
