Piece Description

Women Making Music is a series of short (two to three minute) first person accounts of artists talking about their lives and their craft. From WXPN--one of public radio's leading Tripple A stations--Women Making Music encompasses some of today's most important established singer-songwriters (Like Lucinda Williams and Suzanne Vega) as well as performers whose names you may not recognize. They hail from a variety of genres from Alternative Country to the Blues. In this edition of Women Making Music we hear from newcomer Jolie Holland. Her voice is reminiscent of Billy Holiday's but her songwriting is undoubtedly contemporary. Tom Waits nominated her for the prestigious Shortlist music prize. This module runs locally on WXPN-FM through the Month of March
