Fully acknowledging female band members

[JIO]

My wife and I have been playing together, as a duo and in bands, for over 30 years. So, yeah, I'm definitely with her.

Hi,

Here are a few of the lovely ladies with whom I've had the pleasure of backing and working with.

Anastasia sometimes sits in with us.

Amanda is our primary female talent.

Sometimes Crystal joins us.

Sometimes Crystal subs for Amanda.

Before she left town sometimes Candy would play fiddle for us.

I've worked with Corrie in her Reba tribute.

Francelle used to be in the band before she moved to Nashville.

I worked for years in Kelly's band. I still sub on occasion in her band.

Another tribute act, Bethany, who does Loretta, Dolly, Reba, Patsy, etc.

Kellye used to be in the band before she started her own.

Brandi and I have also done a few gigs together.

I've worked with Chelsea in her band quite a few times.

Let's not forget Gina and her pickup band.

I'm sure there's more. If I can find them I'll post more.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Hey, it says "tribute to female band members," not "Cavalcade of Babes."

This is a band I've played with on and off. The lead singer also plays some flute, sax, and guitar. Trust me, a flute can sound very cool covering keyboard lines, like when doing Allman Brothers.

I love the flute in a lot of styles of music.

She's been the front person for our band, and a good friend, since 2004. Excuse my "what have I done with my life" look in the first pic.

 

[TexasHeat]

Ah, thought this was going to be about the band, "I'm with Her". Oh well.

I was in a band with male and female co-lead singers and it was great to have the diversity to cover a wide range of songs. (No pics)

 

[Riff Ranger]

@JIO, I think this is a great idea and I hope the membership can handle it.

WARNING! THIS IMAGE DEPICTS MEN WEARING SHORTS ONSTAGE

If it appears redundant or unnecessary considering the other thread I mentioned - I'll shut it down.

No need. Members who see this thread as either of those two may choose to move on without posting here.

It's pretty funny that all the guys are wearing shorts, and I'm wearing regular jeans. In their defense, this is Phoenix, AZ, and it was probably 115 degrees that day.

I don't play in a band with a women, but I certainly support our local bands with them

Beekeeper

Beira

Cowgirls From Hell

And any time these ladies come to town, its always a good show

Iron Maidens

 

[JimmyM]

Don't have any pics handy, but this new band I'm playing with has two gals around my age up front, one sings and plays guitar, the other sings and plays harmonica. And the guitarist gal plays cool fingerstyle stuff and writes most of the original songs we do.

 

[Engle]

Don’t have a pic on my phone, but here’s video (doesn’t show our keyboard/trumpet player. She is also awesome!)

 

[Holdsg]

i actually do like the band "I'm With Her"...a lot. great players and harmonizers. their live shows are celebrations of acousticness.


Oh, and it’s a pleasure to share the stage with Angie, whenever I get the chance.

 

[Altitude]

Posting vicariously for a buddy in Nashville who was fortunate enough to have _this_ gig for a few years.

 

[Mildew Jones]

Have had a few ladies in bands over the years, mid 80's had a drummer/bg singer sister combo in original hard rock band, a keyboard player in a different 90's original group, and several lead singers over the last 2 decades of covers work...here's one of the current groups I play with, gal singer is our fearless leader, we have dancers, too!

My band Squelch with the ever amazing Katrina as our front-woman

 

[MrLenny1]

The ladies are always welcomed on stage.
I rarely gig with them. It's the guys.
Most of my experiences were negative but there is always an exception.

 

[Bodeanly]

I have made great memories playing with females and it’s never been an issue unless it was a husband and wife/ boyfriend and girlfriend team who each thought they were BL. That has happened enough to make me never do it again. Flukes, maybe. But being in a band with them is a line I’ve drawn.

 

[FenderBassist]

Personally, I think it was an unnecessary distinction. I view musicians as musicians, and if I need to divide them into categories I'll do it by musical genre or playing style...whatever each individual chose to pursue as a musician (vs qualities they were born with that were out of their control).

"I'm With Them" as a title for a thread about individuals you play with (or played with previously) would have sufficed.

Nice pictures.
