As young, eager musicians who play and act like seasoned pros, the trio from Traverse City, Mich., that I have previously described as “magical, lyrical, fearless and tireless” also should be called “personable” and “accessible.” They represent their craft in the best possible way — as artists, ambassadors, citizens and role models. Every parent should rush out to buy the Accidentals’ recordings in any (or all) available formats for their impressionable tweens and teens — and will more than likely find those tunes to their liking, too.

Among my favorite artists the past two years, they are the only returnees among the top 10, moving up a notch from No. 3 in 2016, when they were named my favorite group interview of the year.
