In the spirit of Women’s History Month, we are turning the spotlight on women (our definition of women is inclusive of cis and trans women, as well as nonbinary people affected by gender oppression). For the entire month of March we have booked almost entirely women-fronted bands. We’ve also created a curriculum and workshop, free and exclusively for women, all about the production side of live music! In the music industry, women have&nbsp; historically been grossly under-represented. We are passionate and committed to keeping a lens on inclusion and representation. Traditionalists or progressives? Fronted by the charismatic Jamaican-born singer and songwriter Nee Nee Rushie, the seven-piece New York band The Big Takeover plays original music that is rooted in and reverent toward the genres and rhythms of Jamaican pop: reggae, rocksteady, ska. They are devotees of Desmond Dekker and the way the old school did it.&nbsp;At the same time, The Big Takeover crosses lines and blends traditions like global pop fusionists. Their deceptively complex arrangements and big hooks connect with the spirit of Motown and the uptown sophistication of the 21st century retro soul and R&amp;B revival scene. Lush Honey is a Northeastern U.S-based space funk / neo-soul / jam quartet Partnerships and collaborations make the world go round! We have partnered with Vermont Women’s Fund and they have graciously agreed to sponsor our Women Belong in the Booth Workshops- meaning this program is FREE. We are collecting donations throughout the month to benefit our other two presenting partners- Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and The Women’s Freedom Center (link to all three groups). For every dollar you donate when purchasing a ticket, we’ll match it! (Up to $1000). All of these organizations are doing important work in our communities. We are proud and grateful to stand beside them and amplify their work! Come to a Show, Stay at the Latchis!
