Your Weekly Women to Listen To: Giselle Rosselli, Sea of Bees, The Pierces and more

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday! It was pouring this morning and I think I may have chosen a lot of today’s artists based on how well they play in my ears when I’m looking out of huge windows watching droplets stream down them. There are, of course, a few exceptions — like Rye Rye for example. This might be up there with my favorite list of women featured on here so far; I hope you all agree.
