Marie Digby.. worth a listen

My buddy emailed me a link to this clip of Marie Digby who apparantly posted some videos of herself singing acoustic covers on YouTube about six months ago. Since then, her cover of Umbrella has been played on a bunch of radio stations and she was recently featured on Last Call Carson Daly. She has an amazing voice and its pretty cool to see talent discovered this way via the web. Check out the video that got her discovered. My personal favorite is her cover of a song by James Morrison called You Give Me Something. Check out the original also... I never heard this song before hearing Marie's cover but it rocks!

Vienna Teng

Last week, I went to see one of my favorite musicians, Vienna Teng, at the Triple Door in Seattle. For those of you who have never heard her, listen to Gravity, Harbor, and Lullabye for a Storm and I promise you will be become an instant fan. You can hear some of her other full length songs here but I highly recommend getting her CDs since almost every song is great. It was my third time seeing Vienna live and I was floored yet again by her talent. People generally compare her to Sarah Mclachlin and Tori Amos but I personally enjoy her music far more. Her lyrics are hauntingly poetic and the accompanying melodies often mask the solemn undertones of her words.

Let me know what you think!
