Many of my regular readers know that I am a woman and that I play in a band here in Raleigh. I love playing music with my band. I learned how to sing when the band started, and only picked up guitar a few months prior. Additionally, this band has allowed me to expand my community and form so many new connections that I value deeply to this day. I feel incredibly privileged to occupy this space as an artist.”I wrote this in the hopes of giving my readers a better understanding of what it’s like to be in a band as a woman.
