Event Details
Emily Hilliard, co-owner of Spinster Records and the host of The Female Bob Dylan podcast, will facilitate an interview of Alice Gerrard, discussing her new autobiography, Custom Made Woman: A Life in Traditional Music.
Alice Gerrard, an award-winning and storied folk and bluegrass musician for over 50 years, is one of the notable few women in a heavily male genre. Custom Made Woman tells Gerrard’s story through the music, the folk festivals, the kids, and the relationships—both personal and professional—that defined her storied life and career.
Join Emily and Alice for this rare and insightful conversation as part of the Celebration of Women in Old-Time Music.
