Why video? Why change? To be honest, first, we’re changing formats because it’s the cool thing to do for cool contributions. Second, Rebecca is a communicator with an outgoing personality. Video lets you know Rebecca more personally and it gives Rebecca more flexibility. She can do more than write about the indie scene – she can actually show you what she’s talking about.

This week I’m featuring the talented Samantha Moore. Moore grew up in Colborne, Ontario, Canada. She attended East Northumberland Secondary School and began performing in summer singing competitions around Ontario. She was ‘discovered’ in 2002 at age thirteen while competing in the Kingston, Ontario Fall Fair Talent Contest. Six months later she was signed to a standard one record deal with Geffen Records and moved to Los Angeles to write and record music.
to tell what kind of look she has. Many are inspired by artists looks, they but do not think they have the capability to copy it. In this day and age there is so much talk about how “designer is better”. One does not have to wear the most expensive piece of clothing to look fabulous. All it takes is going to your favourite stores and picking out what looks similar. The key to creating a look is not finding the identical pieces, but rather what is almost the same. Following this path, your own indie side and individualism can be shown to the world.
The pictures show Marianne’s look. She wears what makes her happy and that which best defines her as a musician and person. You can achieve this look affordably by purchasing items that are not that Hollywood flash pieces. The trick is to do classy and stylish without all the bling and to do it with moderation in mind. Wearing a nice simple dress or shirt will definitely work. Wearing leggings, skinny jeans or a nice skirt also work. Again, the trick to making a simple look fit is in how you chose to put the the pieces together. When creating a look, remember to capture yourself. Represent yourself Sure, let your talent show through, but don’t forget to think about your special look.
Andrea Soler is an Australian singer songwriter with compelling vocals and insightful lyrics who has just recently toured the UK summer festivals including Isle Of Wight, Larmer Tree and the Sunrise Festival. Musically inspired by the passionate joie de vivre of her French ancestry she exudes a distinctly European influenced sound, yet maintaining her own take on indie folk. Likening herself and her music to the old ways of gypsies and travelers; expect a swathe of moods and emotion from Andrea’s soulful live performances.
my musical career!
dream for over ten years to play at this festival. I had to pinch myself a couple of times to realise that I was literally living the dream. It taught me to never give up on my dream, keep working hard, and enjoy the journey!

on the other hand is seen with many looks from different outfits to different hair styles. She is seen dressing both up and down. On stage, she stays casual with her tees versus dressing up with dresses and heels.
thinks looks best and what they feel comfortable in. Also, simple dresses work really well with look as it can be dressed up or down by basic shoes and/or accessories. Shoes are very open ranges as well. Tall boots, to heels, to flats, it all works! Another great way to achieve this look is through accessories! One can wear something a little more bulkier to achieve a more loud look versus something more simple which still makes the look, but in a more simplistic way. So you see, anyones look can be recreated in a simple and affordable way. Anyone is able to achieve not only the look, but any musician’s look at an affordable price. It is about strategies and creativity. It does not mean buying the exact article of clothing, rather manipulate and find something similar that fits both the look and your own personal style. Abbie and Adaline are creative - showing passion with their music. Be sure to visit them at:
very feminine side where she loves to dress up. From wearing dresses to her “insane show collection” to her nity gritty masculine side. She pulls off both looks like no other because for her, it’s effortless and that is all as a result to her confidence of being herself.
She King recently went on tour in Halifax and Windsor. Performing she says is phenomenal and there aren’t any words to describe it. She becomes like a whole new Shawnee when she is on stage. It is like nothing else matters, no one can break her. The show is about chaos and thrill. She is a true born entertainer who truly only wants to express her love and passion for music. Even if all she did was play an acoustic guitar and sang for 5 people and all those people like it, that would be good enough for her. An important message that Shawnee wants to make - just be you. For her, she feels that if it wasn’t for that, she would not be where she is today. With anything you do, there is always going to be somewhere telling you that you are not good enough or no, try this and that shouldn’t matter. What matters is knowing what you have to offer is good enough regardless what others have to say. She tries to encourage that it doesn’t matter what people say, but what you do and it is your confidence and the belief in yourself that allows one to succeed.
has more of a laid back/edgy style. Allie on the other hand is settle and soft. For Laura, a loose solid colour tops whether they are tanks or long sleeves. That allows for both a laid back and edgy look. Also, oversized stylish sweaters and cardigans will allow achieving a look like hers. For Allie, tank tops of any neckline and colour/print are very nice and can be warn either alone or paired with a nicely cut jacket or cardigan. For Laura, leather jackets and edgier
looking trench coats really accent the outfit. Cut and style are very important and something to consider because they can either bring out ones features in a positive or in a negative way. The jackets and shirts are not all to an outfit. The bottoms are a huge factor as well. For both artists, jeans can be worn. Laura would be seen more in skinny jeans where Allie would be seen in bothdepending on the rest of her outfit. Leggings are definitely a piece that can be worn by not only them but anyone because they are very simple and versatile for any outfit and any season. On that note, even though an outfit is made of those components, accessories and footwear are what tie all the pieces together and they provide a nice touch. Long and simple necklaces are very nice, along with a simple ring and earrings. Now, when it comes to footwear, they both can wear similar styles. Tall boots whether they are leather or not can be paired with an outfit. They can be black grey or tan. Those three colours are neutral and will go with anything. A simple flat can be worn as well. An outfit is made up of many factors and even though it may seem complicated or expensive, it is really not. Anyone can achieve not only these two artists looks but any with an inexpensive budget.
one is able to achieve the Americana look that Christine Ohlman possesses. Katrin on the other hand is much different. Her style consists of a natural colour scheme and perhaps closer to pastel colours. From tanks to tee-shirts or even long sleeved, anything along neutral colours will provide this look. One could even chose to wear a country print! As far as bottoms go, any type such as jeans, skirts or shorts can be worn. A boot cut pair of jeans would probably be best inperhaps a wash jean. Next comes the jackets! Jean jackets are definite! But even leather one will work. A simple brown leather jacket will add an endgier look where jean will give it more of a country look. Now, even though this makes an outfit, accessories and footwear are very important as well. Belts and scarves add a nice touch. The jewellery that Katrin is
seen wearing is more simple chunky meets bulky and it completes an outfit! The footwear can be anything really. Leather boots or a simple flat work depending on the rest of the outfit. Given the above, it is evident that these two artists are very different in terms of their style. Remember that if you want more of a brighter statement, go for Christine’s look. But if you want something more quiet, stick with Katrin’s style. Each of the artist’s style represents a part of them selves and makes a powerful statement. One thing to never forget is that anyone can achieve this look on a budget and to just have fun with it. Add a part of yourself to it because – no one can rock you better then you!
