About

My name is Brian and I started Sirens of Song in 1997 to highlight female solo artists and female-led music groups who didn’t have a big internet presence or receive a lot of radio airplay. (I guess you could call it the Lilith Fair of music websites).

Since it’s inception, the site has featured artists such as Dido (one of the first Dido sites on the web), Harriet Wheeler (the Sundays), Leigh Nash (Sixpence None The Richer), Jonatha Brooke, Esthero, Sia Furler, Dominique Durand (Ivy), Nikka Costa, Angie Hart (Frente), Res and Tina Dico to name a few.

In December 2001, Sirens of Song launched an online radio station, which was nominated for a “Best of Live365″ award in 2005.

You can contact me at . Thanks for visiting!

Brian

    Dear Sirens of Song,

    Excellent show. Thanks for doing it. I think my music would fit in quite well. I believe my newest release, “Wonderlust” would fit in quite well since it receives comparisons to Cowboy Junkies, Mazzy Star and Norah Jones quite regularly. Feel free to check it out at my myspace page http://www.myspace.com/vettemusic, or if you prefer to simply be able to download tracks immediately, please simply go to the following HTML page: http://www.vettemusic.com/wonderlust.html

    All the best!

    Sincerely,

    Vette

    Love the site … Ever hear Valerie Leulliot? Music is quite good. You don’t even need to understand french to like it.

    Hi Brian! I used to visit your site many years ago. Thanks for giving me the chance to listen to excellent voices. I love this station.

    Hey,
    I have been listening to your radio station for some time and the music sounds awesome. There is an artist, Marina V, who is a Russian singer/songwriter in Los Angeles. She is still kind of under the radar, but I know your listeners would like her music. She describes her music as a mix of Tori Amos and the Beatles and LA Times calls her music “hauntingly beautiful,” and I totally agree! Her website is http://www.marinav.com
    Here is the link to download free songs: http://www.marinav.com/music.html
    I hope to hear back from you and I hope you will play Marina’s music on your radio station!
    James

    I actually saw Marina V perform at Borders a couple of years ago. I’ll definitely try to get some of her music on!

    You have a great taste in music, and I really do think that your insights would be appreciated over at MOG, not to mention you could drive traffic back to this site.

    Alot of kewl people, music insiders and devotees like yourself.

    Those are two fine examples, one being a lead in to somones personal blog page, the other just a simple post on the MOG site.

    Regardless, its free, and any fan of Harriet Wheeler is a friend of mine. Great reading your site, and I will be back.

    Hi Brian

    Congrats on the “Best of Live365″ award!

    <a href="http://myspace.com/jonandlynn" title="Jon and Lynn on MySpace"

    We're doing a concert to benefit the Rockland Center for the Arts on March 7 2010 –

    playing pop covers, jazz standards and ballads – and some originals. Lynn is spectacular…

    Hi Brian,
    I am from India. Why am I telling you where I am from? So that you know you have Indian fans too.

    Hi Brian,
    What is your age? No, I’m not a woman and I’m not gay, so I have no intention of falling in love with you. I’m just wondering how long you are gonna be around to provide me with music that exactly matches my taste.

    Well, I just renewed my domain so I should be going for at least a couple more years! :-)

    Brian, You have a live365 station?? I will be hearing it when I get home. That is awesome. For about three years I maintained one but took it nowhere. I can’t wait to hear yours!

    -Quincy
