Tierney Sutton - Amazing singer backed by an equally amazing band

April March - She sings in English and French

Holly Cole - Great interpreter of jazz and popular songs

Lisa Ekdahl - Her jazz stuff. Not a great singer but really fun to listen to

You're welcome.

Amazing, I agree. Hayley is my favorite female artist...if you couldn't tell that already. If you'd like to see pics, take a peek at my Webshots...I might have gone a wee bit overboard there however. I consider it a healthy obsession.

Haha, i was about to reccomend vedera, the song trade this fear, as well(which is the band name, not Veda), but also check out The Material, the song No One Has to Know is very good.
