Yes, it's mostly men in prog. It's also mostly men in electronic, jam band, post-rock, fusion, metal (all forms) and jazz. It's not like prog is the only genre that is mostly men.

Virtuoso classically trained violinist Siobhán Cronin (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, STARSET, Wynwood Trio) deserves inclusion. Here she is flawlessly enacting Jean-Luc Ponty's role in "New Country," alongside young 6-string wiz Angel Vivaldi and prog guitar royal Steve Morse.

Emanuela Vedana's vocals haunt Melting Clock's Sophmore album "Altrove".  Altrove is a top-five 2024 album...for me.

The sound of Art Deco's debut album reminded me of British neo-prog from the 1980s, yet with female vocals. They performed in their native Finnish, which suits the music remarkably well. The vocals delivered by Jaana Mäkinen are absolutely breathtaking; she is an extraordinarily powerful female singer.

Mary Fahl from October Project. While some folks may question October Project's prog credentials, there is no question regarding Ms. Fall's vocal abilities. Highly recommended.

American guitarist Sarah Longfield plays for the instrumental prog metal group The Fine Constant, and she does that majestically. However, I think her solo songs, in which she appears as a multiinstrumentalist and singer, are even more beautiful. For instance, this song, "Cranial Metropolis," where Longfield plays drums as well, is really amazing.



Or "Cycles," a tune that may display even more of her skill as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

In this 1993 live footage, which featured a top-notch backup band, the well-known Croatian singer Josipa Lisac, listed in the PA database as a prog-related act, sings a jazz-rock song from her 1973 first LP, which, in accordance to era, was full-blown prog; later, she switched to pop-rock.

Fulano is a Chilean jazz-rock band known for its complex, top-notch compositions featuring female vocals delivered by Arlette Jequier, who sometimes also played clarinet on the records. This is live footage from 1996.

Courtney Swain blows my mind.  Ingenious vocal lines.  Solid keyboardist.  But most of all, Courtney continues to grow as a composer.  As good as she is now...her best is ahead of her.

But how cool is this? And it's from 2024 apparently.


The tone she produces when she plays with the cable!

Circe Link has a terrific voice that is crystal clear, is always in the heart of this duet's music, yet never crashes bore.
