Ascending Women
Ascending Women, FUV Live
We're celebrating female and female-identifying musicians in honor of Women's History Month by revisiting some of our favorite FUV Live memories on 90.7 FM — and online we're taking a closer look at "Ascending Women," musicians whose careers have skyrocketed since their early performances or American debuts with WFUV.
Throughout March, we'll showcase sessions from artists such as 2021 Mercury Prize winner and 2022 Grammy nominee Arlo Parks, Brit Award-winning hip-hop auteur Little Simz, South Carolina gothic blues storyteller Adia Victoria, and Los Angeles rocker SASAMI, who just released her second album, Squeeze, and tours this year with Haim and Mitksi.
We'll also have a fresh series of "Five Essential Albums" from ascending women like Virginia-born soul and R&B singer-songwriter Lady Wray and Icelandic chanteuse, pianist, and TikTok sensation Laufey, who releases her debut album later this year and made her American TV debut on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in January.
On Tuesday, March 8, for International Women's Day, we devoted the day's programming to that global initiative.
