  • Abbey Carbonneau of Book More Women
    May 8 2026
    This week we welcome back Abbey Carbonneau, the founder, creator, and now executive director of Book More Women - who you may know as the Instagram account and site that uses festival posters as a powerful visual aid to show the lack of gender diversity at music festivals, as well as the researched data to go with it. Abbey has been doing this work for eight years now as a passion project, and in the last year evolved the concept into a proper org, now with a board of directors, and on its way to becoming a full-fledged nonprofit.

  • Gail Ann Dorsey
    Mar 20 2026
    In this super special edition of SHEROES, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and bass legend, Gail Ann Dorsey sits down with Carmel Holt for a career-spanning conversation featuring the music that shaped her, and spotlighting some fellow SHEROES of the bass who Gail encountered along the way. For those unfamiliar with Gail Ann Dorsey’s resume, not only has she put out albums of her own starting with 1988’s The Corporate World, she also became a sought after session player, collaborator, and touring bassist, and became known as one of the world’s greatest bass players. Gail has worked with everyone from Tears for Fears, Gang of Four, Bryan Ferry, Gwen Stefani, Indigo Girls, and Lenny Kravitz. And perhaps most notably, she spent over a decade playing bass and singing in David Bowie’s touring band, and contributed to several of his studio albums. Currently Gail is readying her first solo work in 21 years, and the follow up to her 2004 album I Used To Be… and prepping for a 2026 solo tour.
