A DIRECTORY OF WOMEN & NONBINARY PERFORMERS
One of the reasons women and nonbinary performers tend to be under-represented on stages at festivals (and elsewhere) is due to a perceived lack of quality acts that are available. Another contributing factor is the relative scarcity of women/nonbinary persons as accompanists and side players. This directory hopes to be a tool in tackling both of these issues by:
- Giving women and nonbinary performers a means to promote their availability
- Giving bookers a tool to search for quality female or nonbinary acts
- Listing female and nonbinary side players for those seeking accompaniment
In order for the directory to maintain its usefulness to both musicians and bookers, it must represent artists at a certain level of professionalism, and therefore, we attach reasonable requirements to join, below.
REQUIREMENTS FOR INCLUSION ON THE DIRECTORY:
- You must identify as either a woman or nonbinary
