To develop the nominees for Quick’s Big Thing, we gathered a diverse panel of open-minded local-music personalities, who have spent a great deal of time in the scene. We asked them to nominate acts for each category, and then we put their votes together to determine the final nominees. The winners will be determined by readers voting at QuickDFW.com. Here’s a look at our esteemed panelists.
