Selene, here. I\u2019d love it if you came to see my band play this weekend. What instrument do I play? As of this writing, I\u2019m not sure yet. Who\u2019s in my band? What\u2019s it called? IDK! <\/p>\n

I find all this out about 36 hours before we take the stage at Bayboro Brewing on Sunday. And, yes, every act at this show is in the same boat. I\u2019m joining about two dozen women and nonbinary folks for Ladies Rock camp in St. Pete, where we\u2019ll form bands, learn instruments and collaborate on an original song for the big show. <\/p>\n

In the same vein as the Girls Rock Camp<\/a>, this nerve-wracking process is all about empowering women and gender-fluid people to show ourselves and the world that we\u2019re not to be underestimated. <\/p>\n

Most of the bands will break up once the show is over, but for some of us, this is just the beginning. Ladies Rock and Girls Rock have produced some badass real bands like Anarkitty and Hex Appeal<\/a>. I\u2019m more likely to die of embarrassment, but at least it\u2019ll be entertaining.<\/p>\n

Tickets start at $10 for the Ladies Rock Concert, happening Sunday, Feb. 15 in St. Petersburg.<\/a><\/p>\n
