Calling ALL female musicians, poets, singers, lyricists, and performance artists!!! This month's jam celebrates the rich legacy of women in music. We're gathering together on this night for DLAL's first women-only jam. We're playing ALL the instruments and singing ALL the songs! This is our night!
About our features:

So ladies, bring your congas, beat machines, tambourines, shekeres, guitars, basses, poems, lyrics, horns, stringed instruments, bells, hands, feet, and voices to help us cultivate the soundscape. I think we're going to create pure magic!
