Why We Perform
Music has always been an agent for change—a way for individuals and communities experiencing injustice to find their voice, speak out, and gain the recognition and understanding they deserve.
Berklee College of Music and Women in Music as well as USC Annenburg released studies in the past year highlighting the overall sentiment that gender bias is an overwhelming norm in the music industry. In a time of #metoo and Donald Trump, when women find themselves at once being heard, yet also experiencing the threat of suppression and the reversal of rights—the very real threat of moving backwards— the female-identifying community needs to throw the switch on their amplifiers and get louder. Bust Out Boston showcases women doing just that—sharing their hearts, stories, and passion through music and performance.
Who We Are
Bust Out Boston is a group of musicians, artists, and promoters dedicated to women, marginalized gender identities, and gender non-conforming artists having a voice and exploring their art. The sound of Boston has always been dominated by fierce, strong, and talented women. This series intends to honor this legacy of talent while promoting inclusivity, celebrating the diverse genres of music this city has to offer, and shattering the status quo.
Sponsorship
Bust Out Boston has partnered with DO617 and Crossroads Presents and is grateful to our sponsors/supporters, which include Sound Rink, Pabst Blue Ribbon, SUM, Rev Clinics, Dr. Martens, Pride Nation/Live Nation, and Roxy's Grilled Cheese. We are proud to be working with The Secret Bureau of Art & Design, which provides the design for the festival and Jen Vesp Photography for the visuals.
