Song Suffragettes To Host 11th Anniversary Show In March
Nashville’s weekly all-women singer-songwriter round, Song Suffragettes, will mark its 11th anniversary with a show on March 3rd at The Listening Room Cafe. The evening will honor reigning ACM Songwriter of the Year, Jessie Jo Dillon, who will receive the 2025 Yellow Rose of Inspiration Award. This annual honor is given to a woman who has served as a musical inspiration to the Song Suffragettes collective. Past recipients include Wynonna Judd, Ashley McBryde, Kelsea Ballerini, Laura Veltz, Liz Rose and Natalie Hemby.
Dillon will take part in an on-stage Q&A to talk about her songwriting achievements as a six-time Grammy nominee and the current Billboard Rising Songwriter of the Year. To celebrate the writer behind hits like “10,000 Hours” and “Lies, Lies, Lies,” special guest and Song Suffragettes alumna Alana Springsteen will perform a selection of Dillon’s most beloved songs.
In addition to Springsteen, several Song Suffragettes alumnae will take the stage, including Karley Scott Collins, Shaylen, Molly Grace, Summer Joy, Regan Stewart, Shantaia, Mōriah, Anna Vaus, Shelby Raye, Abby Cates and Mia Morris.
The evening will also commemorate the 11-year legacy of Song Suffragettes. Since its inception in 2014, the show has highlighted over 450 talented women out of more than 4,500 applicants. More than 76 alumnae have gone on to secure music publishing deals, and 52 have landed recording contracts, including Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Kelsea Ballerini, Brittney Spencer, Megan Moroney and Gayle.
“After 11 years of Song Suffragettes, we’re most proud of the strong community of women who have not only graced our stage, but who consistently come together to support each other in a music community that still undervalues female talent,” says Songs Suffragettes’ Founder Todd Cassetty. “And we will continue to spotlight the finest female singer-songwriters from Nashville and beyond as we honor songwriting icon Jessie Jo Dillon with the Song Suffragettes Yellow Rose of Inspiration Award on March 3rd.”
Tickets for Song Suffragettes’ 11th anniversary show are on sale now.
