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™!!

That is awesome! Ben is awesome.

Excited to check out some of that music. I have heard Sara Bareilles before and liked her. Good times David.

Pye - I have seen the elves...they are a sight to see and a true labor of love.

Ben is awesome.

Also, while I put "many more"; I think worth an actual mention is Erin McCarley. I heard her last night, but never walked over to check out who was playing. She popped up again today 2x (once playing the same song as last night). She's pretty fun to listen to.

Never fret Mariah... elves will be coming to TheLongWinded... I just want to actually get them up at the house and get some good pictures before I show them off. Rain willing, it will be this weekend :)
