Comment:

Today's singer-songwriters are a wildly varied cast of characters — there are sweet-voiced chanteuses (Ingrid Michaelson, Bird York) and down-home storytellers full of gravitas and grit (Kathleen Edwards, Amy Rigby). Wily wordsmiths reeling off dizzying streams of poetic imagery (Brett Dennen) stand shoulder-to-shoulder with soul-slinging singers (Amos Lee) who deal in deceptively straightforward statements. The one thing they've all got in common is a rock-solid sense of their own individuality and a brightly blazing artistic identity that can't be ignored. So whether you're in the mood for some mellow, folk-flavored coffeehouse vibes or slow-burning, funk-inflected good-foot grooves, this is the place to meet a batch of fascinating new friends who've got their own, unique, unforgettable stories to tell.
