2011 RBW Musician Links

Note from Artistic Director, Sarah Bush–
“Rocked by Women is a multi-media dance performance that pays homage to the bold amazing women musicians who rocked me into my first steps, and who continue to inspire me to be the woman I am today.
Here is a partial list of musicians who are being celebrated in this production. I hope you will go to their website or a store and buy their music.”
