Who are your favorite “sheroes” in traditional songs? There are so many fierce women I love from the old songs and ballads- women who do daring feats, who use magic, fight off their attackers, or curse their enemies. But I also love songs that illustrate powerful, everyday protest too. Folk songs don’t just help us witness the experiences of others- they also teach a variety of tactics of resistance.
We’ll be exploring what songs like this one have to teach us in my upcoming offering Badass Women in Folk Song. This six week class explores songs from Scotland, England and Appalachia about powerful, subversive women- just what we need in these times! You’ll get a chance to write your own songs “in the tradition” as well!
You can take this class over zoom (with two different times to choose from) or locally if you’re in western NC!
Virtual cohorts start on January 16th, and the in-person cohort starts on January 13th! Check out the schedule and register using the link in my bio!
