All manner of music, features, conversations and explorations.

This month’s featured guest:
Evelyn McDonnell, editor of “Women Who Rock: Bessie to Beyoncé. Girl Groups to Riot Grrrl.”

Liz will be joined by Evelyn McDonnell, editor of the collection of essays and full-color illustrations called “Women Who Rock: Bessie to Beyoncé: Girl Groups to Riot Grrrl.” The collection features over 100 formative musicians from many angles of the music spectrum, traveling through blues, gospel, folk, funk, punk, pop, rock and hip-hop — all from the perspective of writers and illustrators who are also women.

The project is pulled together and edited by music journalist Evelyn McDonnell, who, in addition to serving as associate professor of journalism at Loyola Marymount University, has written about musicians and movements ranging from The Runaways and Patti Smith to Bjork and The Go-Go’s. McDonnell’s feature on the recently resuscitated Riot Grrrl movement has just been published in the New York Times. She also makes an appearance in the 2018 film “Bad Reputation” about the life and career of Joan Jett.
