I realized this week that of all the artists/bands I’ve seen so far this year, about 70% were women or lead by women. Last week really bolstered the tally between the Lauren Ruth Ward residency, a slew of up and comers at The Peppermint Club (Clover The Girl, Bellsaint, O’Neill Hudson, Fiona Grey), and a sold out show at The Fonda featuring K.Flay. 2018 is most definitely the year of women!
Speaking of the Lauren Ruth Ward residency, if you’re looking to go, I’d recommend getting there on the early side. Last Monday it was raining and the place was still packed. There are lots of great options for music Monday, so no matter where you end up, it will be a good night. I’m also looking forward to Wednesday night at The Hotel Cafe when Jared & The Mill come to town.
