Ray LaMontagne is a singer/songwriter from Maine. He has released two
studio albums and has a bunch of rare EPs/Demos. I was reading about
him on his Wiki entry and found this interesting:
His song "Be Here Now" from Till the Sun Turns Black is featured in the trailer for Sarah Polley's feature-length directing debut Away From Her released last year."LaMontagne refers to himself as a 'very private person', and infrequently gives interviews. He also usually does not interact with the audience between songs during his live shows. LaMontagne has been known to perform live shows in the dark in order to separate himself from the audience."

Kate Nash is a London-born musician. Music blogs and mags are comparing her to Lily Allen and Regina Spektor which is spot on since her music is a perfect combination of the two musicians. Nash is already being touted as the next Lily Allen even though Allen is still developing her music. So, it's kind of weird to be calling someone the next *fill in new artist* since they're still maturing, but she really seems to be "the next Lily Allen". But soon, people will be saying so and so is the next Kate Nash. "Habanera" is a b-side off of her "Foundations" single.

Regina Spektor is a Russian-born New Yorker who's a classically trained pianist and is another musician that's part of the anti-folk scene. Most of her songs are piano-driven that are astounding to listen to and is known for her "hiccups" which is apparent in "Edit". When she first moved to America as a child, she didn't understand English at all. After awhile, she started to pick it up, but pretended she didn't understand a word until she was asked a question in English and she answered it... in English. She's also a fan of The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players!
