A musician friend recently asked me…

Have you seen any inventive ways artists are doing releases during this quarantine?

I have, and it has been with music videos.

These indie music women artists showed their inventiveness to reach out to their fans and friends. 

They showed their vulnerability, their hearts, and passion.

The results are nothing short of inspiring.

 

Presented in no particular order, here are those amazing women artists and their creative works.

 

In Honor of Nurses Past and Present 

Angela Sclafani/Hannah Corneau – “Katherine Hannan: to her nurses“

Written by Angela Sclafani, and performed by Hannah Corneau in honor of National Nurses Week in May. The music video is part of the Passion Project: Love Songs from Women to Their Work. 

Katherine Hannan volunteered with the Red Cross in 1917 to serve as a World War I nurse. She later made history as a leading chief nurse who helped care for the wounded and sick suffering from the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. 

 

Get a Little Help From Your Friends

Ellen McNeill –  “To All My Friends“   

Ellen wrote a song about missing everything in quarantine. Over the month of April, she and her brother created a music video project with family and friends all over the world. The end result was 131 people from across 7 continents coming together in a 4-minute zoom video call.  

 

DIY Music Video Shoot with an iPhone

Stephanie Ryann –  “For A Reason“  

Stephanie shot the video on her own with her iPhone and used a few video editing apps. The end result is a music video filmed at a beautiful location, with a simple but moving concept, and it looks professionally shot.
