Women’s voices and stories need to be heard. 

Recognizing that women are underrepresented across all aspects of the music industry, three women singer-songwriters from Oregon - Beth Wood (Sisters), Bre Gregg (Portland), and Kristen Grainger (Salem) - co-founded She’s Speaking during the global pandemic in 2020. Named for Kamala Harris’ quip (“I’m speaking!”) during the 2020 vice presidential debate, She’s Speaking creates opportunities and platforms that elevate and amplify songs by women, about women, for everyone. 

After creating and curating a YouTube channel during the pandemic shutdown, collecting more than 70 original song videos by women songwriters and hosting livestream performances, She’s Speaking produced its first live, in person performance at Portland’s Alberta Rose Theatre as soon as it was safe to do so. Now, She’s Speaking-LIVE brings this dynamic and uplifting live show with a revolving cast of amazing women songwriters to standing-room-only audiences in celebration of women's songs, stories, and voices!
