In middle school I struggled to name female musicians whom I liked. I blame it on the horrible pop-punk I listened to at the time. My introduction to Tegan&Sarah, Rilo Kiley years later gave me a real taste of what women can do with guitars, and how much better they rocked compared to the talentless emo crap I had settled with for so long.
There's something about a female's ability to really just belt out a song (i.e. Regina Spektor). Add some instrumental talent, undercut with heavy, yet relatable, lyrics, and you've got a force to be reckoned with.
Sarah Aument seems to have all those qualities, but sweetly disguised with a melodic voice and entrancing gaze.
Aument, a Syracuse University freshman, is going to be audiocandy's first musicial guest on this thursday's show (10am--1pm), playing a few of her songs and answering our (and your) questions. She signed with SU sophomores Dan Creahan and Sam Mason's record label O, Morning Records last semester and she played her first headlining show with Like Trains & Taxis and Erica Scarano at Funk n' Waffles earlier this month.
Swing by her MySpace page and take a listen to a few, or all, of her five posted tracks (my favorite is "Shall I compare thee"). Comment which ones you'd like for her to play on-air, or any questions you may have for her that you'd like for her to answer.
She'll be in the studio during the later portion of this week's show, but be sure to tune in early for a special contest with an Aument-related prize!
