A DIRECTORY OF WOMEN PERFORMERS

One of the reasons women tend to be under-represented on stages at festivals (and elsewhere) is due to a perceived lack of quality female acts that are available. Another contributing factor is the relative scarcity of women as accompanists and side players. This directory hopes to be a tool in tackling both of these issues by:

  • Giving women and non-binary performers a means to promote their availability
  • Giving bookers a tool to search for quality female or non-binary acts
  • Listing female and non-binary 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 BROADSHEET:

  • You must identify as either a woman or non-binary
  • If you are in a mixed-gender band, a woman (or non-binary person) must be the PRIMARY member
  • You must have a dedicated performer website for yourself or your act (an artist profile on Facebook/Reverbnation/Sonicbids, etc. is allowable)
  • You must have at least one EP or full-length album streaming online
  • You must have at least two live-performance videos streaming online
