Hi Folks, I've always read your messages from this group, but I've never sent any in response. I just wanted to say that I completely know what you mean about serious female artists being hard to come by these days. I'm going into the music industry and I hope to have some kind of impact on that -- both as a businesswoman AND an artist (www.jbwmusic.com). If any of you are curious to hear some of my stuff, it's posted on myspace... The recordings I have up are pretty darn old, but "Loren" is my most recent project. Hope you enjoy. I'm movin' to Nashville in Sept. so hopefully I'll find my way! Support from people like you is ALWAYS appreciated and needed. Take care, my fellow Patty Griffin Fan friends! Love and Light, ~BRIE~ http://www.myspace.com/briannewidaman or just type in: http://www.jbwmusic.com (that'll forward you to my myspace automatically). - ------------------------------------- J.

Her music changes, so she is not like the acoustic record she put out a couple of years ago, nor like the Jazzy Christmas album she recorded live. Right now she's in a Southern Rock/Swamp Rock type of thing. Very cool. www.michellemalone.com She's also very friendly, bootlegs herself, and is label-less. OH, and she's currently on tour! Hear her on her website, and on myspace. Darren ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 06:24:33 EDT From: PghPasta@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: RE: Serious female singers... Check out Sonya Kitchell, preferably in concert. I had the opportunity to hear her at the brand new WYEP in-house studio here in Pittsburgh a few months ago and she was mesmerizing. She is wise beyond her 16 young years, a soulful singer-songwriter and really uses her voice as an instrument, not afraid to look awkward if it means hitting the right note with the right sound.

Eastern Daylight Time, RbSayre@aol.com writes: That was an interesting article. However, one factor that has certainly made me lose interest in a lot of the people mentioned is that the albums they've been making have just not been as good. Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow and Jewel are perfect examples of artists that I used to love, who have released albums that I've found to be majorly disappointing. I can't even listen to the latest Jewel disc. In fact, I find that the majority of new music I have found myself *loving* lately are all independent artists (or those who are virtually unknown in the States) whom I've discovered on my own- Holly Palmer, Beth Thornley & Paul Bryan are who I'm listening to now. There are certainly artists who have remained consistently great- Patty, Aimee Mann, Indigo Girls, Bic Runga, Ben Folds- but more and more these days I find that when it comes to some of my old favorites, I'm happier listening to the old stuff than their latest release. It's actually kinda depressing. - -Rick *It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone & come back I'll find it at home.* -Rumi a better version of me *even things that seem still are still changing* -ben folds ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 18:21:55 EDT From: Underwoodskee@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: RE: RE: serious female singers Another artist I should mention, is Cory Sipper.
