Ahead of the upcoming International Women’s Day on Sunday, we dedicate this entire show to more or less recent female performers. We begin with the new country record for Aubrie Sellers who pleasantly surprised us with strong songs and loud guitars, breathing new life into a genre we thought was over. Habibi over in Brooklyn, but originally heading from Detroit are an all female line up fronted by Lenaya Lynch and Rahill Jamalifard. Also in Detroit, Detroit Cobras are back with a recent new single. On the singer-songwriting scene, we have brand new singles for Nicole Atkins, Becca Stevens, Ada Lea and Gemma Ray. The Exbats is a father and daughter duet, lead by the young Inez McClain.
