INDIEGRRL (http://www.Indiegrrl.com) is a forum for information, networking and
conversation about independent music from a female perspective. Holly Figueroa
formed Indiegrrl in May of 1998 as Internet discussion forum in an effort to
bring together independent women musicians of all genres. Indiegrrl has grown to
become much more than that. With Indiegrrl compilation CDs and the formation of
Indiegrrl Records (with an exclusive distribution through CD Baby), an East
Coast and Midwest tour in 1999, showcases at the 2000 Folk Alliance conference,
the Oxygen Media's National Tank Tour, and the Indiegrrl Expofest 2000 in New
York City, Indiegrrl continues to make its presence known throughout the
country.

room funded by and designed for its members, friends and potential members.The
Folk Club and Cultural Center is used primarily for Club Members and our events.
