NON-CLASSICAL:
Sarah Harmer: This Ontario native is Canadian and proud of it! By staying true to her roots, she is producing some of the most genuine rootsy and folk-y music on either side of the border. And she's a redhead.
Idgy Vaughn: the next big thing to come out of Austin, this small town, Midwestern gal is the real deal. And she's a redhead.
Melissa Auf der Maur: Redhead...Canadian....(sensing a theme here?)
Mindy Smith: a country-ish Nashville artist for those of us who don't listen to C&W radio--and who don't happen to think that Carrie Underwood is the second coming of Dolly-or Tammy- or Loretta~!!! (But Mindy's videos do appear on CMT).
Nellie McKay (pronounced 'Mu-KAI'): a New York original: a militantly animal-loving Vegan who, at age 21, already has two double-CDs under her belt. Put her in the hands of a judicious producer , and she could be the next Diana Krall for the tweeners.
CLASSICAL:
the claremont trio: This picture says it all. I love these young, fun-loving Columbia grads!
(and they have a blog like mine)Hélène Grimaud: She's French.
If you need another reason to like her, she loves wolves.
Hilary Hahn: In her spare time, she reads German poetry in its original German! (you gotta love that!) And she plays a mean violin. And she has the best blog of any classical musician I know.
