Songwriters, composers, singers, and female-led bands. In recent years, they have become an increasingly prominent part of the Indies Scope catalogue. Some draw on folk and the singer-songwriter tradition, while others move towards alternative pop or genres that deliberately resist categorization. What they share above all is that they stand behind their songs as writers and creators. Each has a distinctive voice, and each tells different stories.
Here are eight solo songwriters and performers from recent years (listed alphabetically) who have released an album with Indies Scope.
