Alanis Morissette and Aimee Mann

Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette fuses alternative rock with poetic pop. Born in Ottawa, her breakout album, *Jagged Little Pill*, won a Grammy and featured hits like "You Oughta Know" and "Ironic." She collaborated with producer Glen Ballard and later worked with artists like Dean DeLeo and Flea. The album inspired a Tony-nominated Broadway musical. She explores themes of middle-aged motherhood on her Juno-winning album *Such Pretty Forks in the Road*.

Aimee Mann, born in Richmond, Virginia, rose to fame leading 'Til Tuesday with 1985 hit "Voices Carry." Known for folk-tinged adult alternative pop, she's acclaimed for solo work, the Oscar-nominated "Save Me" from Magnolia, and collaborations with Elvis Costello and Ted Leo.
