Meet Some Of My Favorite Indie Artists

As you know, I do reviews for a music blog

Here are a few of the artists you've never heard of, because they aren't on major labels, but you should.

Elena Zoubareva has an album out called Allure. She sings beautiful songs that are operatic with a touch of world music and a sprinkle of broadway. Her voice is truly angelic.

You can listen to sound clips and purchase her CD at CD Baby or you can check her out on her Official Site.

The next artist you must hear is Fermata. This band has a very unique sound that mixes modern folk with chamber music. Their album Only Ghosts Remain is also available at CD Baby. If you are a fan of artists like Loreena McKennit or Rasputina, you want to give this band a try. They are fabulous!

I discovered their music on another Livejournal site and asked them if they'd like a review and thankfully they said yes. Their album is one of my favorite little known releases of the year.

The next artist you need to check out is Phil Putnam. He's another artist I can't help but gush over. He's got a wonderful songwriting style and a voice that just melts me into a puddle. Listen to his music on his Myspace and buy it on his Official Site. Oh and while you are at Phil's official site, sign up for his fan forum and you'll get a free download of his (What Became Of) The Choirboy. Definitely worth it to sign up!!

There you have it. Three artists you wouldn't have heard of if you hadn't checked in here today. Give them a shot and remember to support Independent Artists!!!
