If you'd like to read a review, click on it's name on the right. If you'd like to submit a review please send it to reviews _at_collectedsounds.com. (using a @ instead of the _at_ , of course)

The criteria is simple. I will post reviews of female singer/songwriters, or band where there is a female front person. I would like for the artist to write their own music (no Brtineys, Christinas etc) and perhaps play an instrument.

It does not have to be an artist featured on this web site in the Spotlight section, but it's possible that I will add a Spotlight section for them if I get a review of their music. You also may review a concert that has already been reviewed. I would just put your review after the last one posted but on the same page. Therefore, your review does not have to be long and drawn out but it can be if you like.

Of course I will give you full credit by giving you a "by-line" with your email address (unless you ask me not to).
