Why Gender Equity in Music Matters

In 2025, only 23% of musicians booked at major U.S. festivals were women. In this introductory episode, Abbey Carbonneau, founder of Book More Women, sits down with host Carmel Holt to discuss the evolution of the organization, the current state of gender equity in music, and why visibility alone isn't enough anymore. MEASURED is a podcast exploring how power, access, and decision-making operate in the music industry. Season 1 takes a deep dive into music festivals from all sides: what actually goes into the lineup posters that we all love to share. We’ll combine data with firsthand stories from artists, industry professionals, and organizers to reveal barriers to progress and uncover possible solutions.
