Neko Case mostly fits the brief, although probably a lot of other people do too

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

MODERATORS
Yeah, but no. I know/love Neko. Thanks though - and I know my description is vague. I'll be stuck trying to figure this out for a while, I imagine.
Me saying this was about 80% because I love Neko Case, and 20% because she might be the answer to your question
Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis?
No idea if these are good answers, but
Feist?
Or
Cat power?
No but here's my favorite Feist video anyway:
Awesome! I can see why it's your favorite.
Shirley Manson, Garbage?

Scotland and Madison don't match your memories, but the curtains do.
Distillers? Brody Dale had a solo release as spinerette.
@perishthethought Hmmβ¦Jenny Lewis/Rilo Kiley was the first thing that popped into my head, but Iβm guessing sheβs more obscure- were they like indie rock or hard rock? Anything else to go on like a snippet of lyrics you remember?
More obscure, for sure. Indie rock, not hard. Almost sorta rockabilly-ish?
No song names, lyrics, nothing else are coming to mind.
You'll probably have to be more specific. Maybe sift some PNW indie label Wikipedia pages for rosters. Because if you can't think of anyone she toured with or any other fact no one will be able to name some indie artist with just a decade and a gender.
You're not thinking of No Doubt/Gwen Stefani are you?
One of the groups album titles was a reference to her turning 30 while recording it.
