Let the Girls Play

Emily Shackelton’s piano playing pins down a recent Song Suffragettes cover of Lady Antebellum’s hit song “Need You Now.” The country newcomer joins the rest of the group to sing the second verse of the historic hit as well, making an already dark love song even darker.

The Song Suffragettes took on a very appropriate song on a recent Monday evening in Nashville, gathering together for a group cover of "Baby Girl," the song that launched Sugarland and made them into stars.

Nashville's Song Suffragettes turned in a harmony-laden cover of a breakout hit single on a recent Monday night, performing the Band Perry's "If I Die Young" to wrap up their weekly #LetTheGirlsPlay gig.

Kalie Shorr — rising female singer and songwriter and one of the Song Suffragettes — just released her Y2K Mixtape, and she's sharing some of the influences.

Ask Kat Higgins if she's watched Fuller House and she’ll answer with something like, “Who?” "You know, the Full House remake?" Blank stare ... awkward silence ... and then: “We didn’t have cable growing up!” It’s a charming response...

Five Song Suffragettes singers covered the No. 1 song in country music during a show at the Listening Room recently. Watch this tribute to Kelsea Ballerini, a #LetTheGirlsPlay supporter.

Five of Nashville's most talented up-and-coming singer-songwriters paid tribute to one of the most beloved songs of all time on a recent Monday night in Nashville, when the Song Suffragettes offered up a cover of a classic that's been recorded by both Keith Whitley and Alison Krauss.

A chance encounter with a Native American chief led to Loretta, and then Willie and Waylon and indirectly RaeLynn and Kelsea. Hailey Steele found music naturally, but her road to Music City and beyond needed a boost from a few famous friends.

Tattoos tell stories, and Hailey Steele has a few good ones.

Kalie Shorr’s “Fight Like a Girl” is everything you expect from the title, and then it's much more. Yes, it’s an anthem for marginalized females in country music, business and life. But it’s also a reminder of what songwriters in Nashville and beyond are fighting for daily.
