| What's Female-Musician.com All About? |
I’ve created this
website to be a place to highlight women who play instruments from the
past and present.
Why am I doing this? Well, I am a female bass player and a vocalist. I'm very passionate about building Female-Musician.com and am receiving great joy and satisfaction from seeing it through to its success.
Eventhough I'm working on building Female-Musician.com, I'm still very much a musician! I'm not just sitting on the sidelines watching! I'm creating this newsletter and website. MY time will come, but right now, it's time for all my other sisters in music!

More on Rochelle and The Hollyboots Band -
"Hollyboots" is in rehearsals preparing for their first CD Release. The band is looking to release their self-titled CD sometime in February. Exact Date TBD.
In January 2008 "The Hollyboots Band" was formed. Rochelle Coatney (Drummer/Percussionist) joined the band later that year in September and immediately went into the studio to record drums and percussion for this project. "Rocky", as she is affectionately known, ties the band together with her brilliant dynamics, fills, and grooves on drums. This project has been five years in the making, and everyone is excited to get the show in the road. You can check out the band on Facebook or Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/hollyboots.
| Female-Musician.com's New Classified Ad Section |
I've just added a free classified ad section in the website! If you're a female musician, you can post what's going on with you. If you're looking for a female musician, you can post your ad. Currently, the listings expire in 30 days. The information you can put in there is pretty liberal such as URL's and images, but I definitely ask you to keep your content clean or be subject to deletion of the post. Sorry to have to get so serious, but Female-Musician.com's family-friendly.
I'm currently only opening the up the types of listings to "Female Musicians Wanted" and "Female Musicians Available", so please be sure to keep your posts within these subjects for now. However, as time goes by, if you guys like the classifieds and use them, I'll open it up to more categories such as "instruments for sale", "instruments wanted", etc.

I'd love it if you would pass the word about my site to any female musician out there you know who's like to be highlighted in THE place that makes sense...Female-Musician.com! Don't worry. I'm not gonna be sharing or selling your information to anybody else or using it for other than its intended purposes. I'd get in trouble if I did that! And I'm definitely in it for the long-haul, y'all! :-)
