[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Calling all women musicians, creatives, and industry pros! Gritty In Pink is teaming up with Book More Women to find women, nonbinary and trans talent for a chance to play or work with them on their festival activation this July in Long Beach.
About the Gritty In Pink Talent Search
From June 8-18, musicians, photographers, videographers, and other industry professionals will have the opportunity to submit an INPINK listing to Gritty In Pink’s marketplace INPINK for a chance to play or work with Gritty for their festival activation this summer! Once the applicants’ listings are approved, they will also be available for hire on INPINK for future gigs.
The INPINK marketplace is an emerging online destination to hire women and gender-expansive freelancers: like a female-powered Upwork or Fiverr, starting with the music business. INPINK aims to democratize access to a gatekept industry and provide a pipeline of female talent for professionals looking to hire from a diverse community of women. Live Nation is the lead investor in the company.
Gritty Founder Shira Yevin says, “We are thrilled to team up with Book More Women for this year’s festival talent search. Last year, our talent search with She is the Music helped bring hundreds of new professionals to INPINK, and this year, we are looking forward to really expanding our talent base- on and off stage- in our core market of Southern California.” Book More Women is an arts service organization that works to advance gender equity in the music industry through research, education, industry partnership, and direct support programs.
Shira Yevin aka Shiragirl became known for crashing the Vans Warped Tour in the mid-aughts and creating the Shiragirl Stage, which featured Paramore on their first-ever tour, and Joan Jett. Gritty In Pink made their return to the Warped scene last year for Warped’s 30th anniversary with their Gritty Garage activation. The Gritty Garage is designed to uplift female artists, fans, and aspiring music industry pros, offering female artists an opportunity to connect with fans. This year, they will return to Warped Tour Long Beach (July 25-26) with the Gritty Garage, plus their signature Gritty In Pink Jam on stage as part of the official Warped lineup! The jam will feature women/nonbinary musicians performing Warped artists and anthems.
