Critic's Pick — R.O.O.T.S.: An All-Female Roots Music Jam Session

The Culture at Large podcast is kicking off its first live performance event at Anzie Blue in Hillsboro Village. Journalist Marcus K. Dowling, creator of Culture at Large, unveils R.O.O.T.S.: An All-Female Roots Music Jam Session, featuring Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Lilli Lewis and Jaelee Roberts. The idea is for R.O.O.T.S. to become a bimonthly event, highlighting the work of women in bluegrass, blues, Christian and folk, at one of the city’s women-owned music venues. Dowling notes that two-thirds of the Carter Family (who introduced country music as a commercial genre in 1927) were women. It’s past time to regularly appreciate and listen to women’s essential, continuing contributions to their genres. Tickets are free, but should be reserved online in advance.

7 p.m. at Anzie Blue
