The four female artists leading the indie genre today all have something in common, and it’s not something you see in the music industry everyday. Phoebe Bridgers, Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, and Clairo share a camaraderie that goes beyond a hello at a show or a few twitter interactions. The foursome provide support for one another and encouragement, go to one another’s shows, tour together, and derive inspiration from each other’s work - all while transforming the landscape of indie singer-songwriters. Even with different sounds, the common emphasis on deep, raw lyricism puts these women as the leading indie singer-songwriters today.

The stage at The Historic Scoot Inn on April 10 presented a night of powerful women shredding out their angst for a crowd of loyal fans.

2017 was a remarkable time for women in music. This year, the expectations are just as high, with several little and well-known albums hitting the airwaves.
