Monday at 5pm (ET) I'll be in conversation with the brilliant Jacqueline Warwick, talking about girl singers from Lulu to the Linda Lindas! All are welcome - dm me for the Zoom link! This is part of Popular Music Books in Process - iaspm-us.net/journal-of-pop…

Head on over to the Oxford Music blog for a playlist that I put together inspired by Freedom Girls! blog.oup.com/2021/11/voicin…

I wrote about Last Night in Soho, a movie that was really pretty ridiculous but that I kind of adored! popmatters.com/edgar-wright-l…

Revisiting this great Ronnie Spector interview. Love her so much. theguardian.com/music/2019/dec…

This evening at the Pop Conference they announced the shortlist for the Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award (rockhall.com/2022-Ralph-J-G…) and Freedom Girls is on the shortlist!!!!

I am thrilled that my book is resonating with people, and so honored to be shortlisted alongside writers and scholars whose work I admire and respect so much. (And you can get a copy of Freedom Girls here! global.oup.com/.../freedom-gi…)

I wrote about P.P. Arnold for Women's Song Forum! You should read everything on the site - it's full of wonderful and thoughtful essays by smart, smart folks. womensongforum.org/2022/07/15/p-p…

I had a wonderful convo with @kmturner1967 about my book for the New Books Network podcast - have a listen to hear us chat about singers, the music industry, and gender in the 1960s! newbooksnetwork.com/freedom-girls

Might I suggest a little light Lulu reading for your summer evening?
