One Year Down

So much to mention here and yet I don’t know where to start.

I suppose that first I should mention that as of June 7th, Womenfolk has been online for exactly one year. In fact this entry was supposed to be published on that day, but preparations for it took longer than expected.

Nevertheless, I want to thank everyone who has visited in the past and to those who continue to visit on a regular basis. I know I don’t post every day, or even every other day, but when I do post, I make every effort to make it a quality one.

Womenfolk is a one-man project; a lot of my personal time has been poured into this site and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Comments from readers and even some of the artists we’ve featured prove to me that this was all worthwhile.

Hi… I wanted to say thank you for putting me on your very cool website. Your site is beautiful and I’m flattered that you chose my new album to be one of your ‘recommended’. Thank you!

                            – Amy Correia

Thanks for including me on your site. It really makes me feel good when anyone remembers what I used to do, and I’m flattered to be included alongside the other great artists you list. So thanks!

                            – Jen Trynin

I just wanted to say thanks for featuring [our] tracks on Womenfolk - it lead to us having a top ten hit in Serbia! We’re just back from touring there which was an amazing experience. Just goes to show how the internet can democratize and make a difference to the industry.

Womenfolk’s new feature for independent female songwriters, ‘This Woman’s Work,’ has kicked into gear with its first artist: Claudia Russell. Russell is a tremendous talent with a timeless voice and I’m honored to feature her music.

I strongly urge everyone to educate themselves on Ms. Russell by clicking on the graphic on the navigation bar.

More artist spotlights are in the works for This Woman’s Work, so keep checking back to see what’s changed.


Finally, to celebrate our birthday and to say thank-you to the many visitors who have supported us, I have created a ‘year in review’ compilation highlighting just some of the music we have featured.
