The vintage-inspired folk group Rosie & the Riveters will play the Performing Arts Center at 两性色午夜 University at Tuscarawas on Tues., April 3 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the new Come Hear Series.
Rosie & the Riveters鈥 unmistakable visual branding of red lipstick, pin curls and overtly feminine costuming may be deceiving, but this is not a throwback band. Their new album Ms. Behave embraces the feminist undertone of their moniker, Rosie the Riveter, in a way they hadn鈥檛 previously; one that allows them to shed their please-all attitudes, take a purposeful stance and dare be themselves. Listen closely and you鈥檒l hear playfully defiant lyrics and confident talk-back harmonies. Every word, note and movement in their live show is done purposefully to empower and challenge.
鈥淭hese fiercely talented and sassy women hail from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and play all original music,鈥 says general manager David Mitchell. 鈥淭heir message is one of equality and paints a portrait of a woman鈥檚 voice in a man鈥檚 world. They seek to empower women to be ambassadors for change within their own communities. In support of this vision, they invest 20 percent of their merchandise profits in women鈥檚 projects around the world through KIVA.org.鈥
