Continuing with Female Musicians

So, I'm continuing the topic because I've had some relative success finding some female artists that I actually enjoy.

While I had realized the style I enjoy listening to, as it relates to female artists; I still was struggling finding and Christian female artists.

I did some serious googling, and discovered two things:

1) Apparently Christians artists don't really understand what indie music is, and additionally don't understand genres in general.

2) In my searching, I managed to find two female artists/groups that I feel like I could listen to with any regularity. I'm kinda happy about this. Once again, as far as concerts are concerned, I feel like the venue would play a huge role. But for everyday listening, I'm pretty entertained by these women.

You can listen to a sampling of their music on their own sites (both have small music players in the upper right corner of their sites).

Without further ado:

Brooke Fraser (http://www.brookefraser.com/)

Brooke Fraser has an Ingrid Michaelson sound to her. (Ingrid is one of the indie artists I mentioned in the previous post). Brooke even traveled with the Hotel Cafe Tour (with Ingrid and Priscilla Ahn, etc.), so she's in good company. Additionally, she's written songs for Hillsong (she's a member of the church).



Tal and Acacia (http://talandacacia.com/)
Tal and Acacia have a small Regina Spektor element to them, both musically and vocally (though not quite as vocally annoying to me). Their first song you can hear (Garbage) is clever, but not really among my favs that I've hear thus far. If it isn't any good to you, try skipping it and going to the next song. I really enjoy Drifting Away, which is the second song on their playlist on their site, and Yahweh.

Finally, some Christian Females

Back to Female Singers

So, a bit ago I posted my opinions about female singers. I still hold that opinion, especially in regards to Christian female artists.

However, thanks to my good friend, Treats™ (Trademark 2009, Benjamin Rush Creations, Inc.), in association with Pandora Radio™, I have been introduced to Priscilla Ahn, and through her a slew of other very talented female artists:

A Fine Frenzy,
Ingrid Michaelson
Kate Walsh
Sara Bareilles
Jaymay
... and many more.

All of these have a very indie element to them, and I'm totally pleased with the findings. Granted, I'm not sure I'd pay good money to go see them in concert, unless said concert was in a coffee house with comfy couches and a relaxed atmosphere. Should one provide such a venue, I'd be there in a heart beat.

The Pandora Priscilla Ahn Radio station has become a staple of my "listening while you work" music lineup.

Thanks Treats™!!
