As the host of The Coffeehouse on Pittsburgh's WYEP-FM, I am tasked with providing the Sunday morning soundtrack for listeners who value independent, non-commercial radio. For many, Sunday morning is a time of reflection and relaxation. Often, I receive calls from listeners who are drinking coffee and doing the NYT crossword, getting ready for church, or doing laundry and other household chores. The common theme of these conversations is a general feeling of contentment and contemplation. Rushing around and meeting deadlines are a part of life. But Sunday mornings give us all the opportunity to recharge. With that in mind, I often sprinkle "indie folk" into the mix of music that I play, as it is the perfect complement to early Sunday mornings. By "indie artists," I mean those who generally produce non-mainstream music, independent of major record labels. What follows is an overview of those I consider to be today's most interesting and important indie folk artists. An article by contributor Adam Kukic, host of The Coffeehouse on WYEP fm.
