26 songs for International Women's Day 2026!

An eclectic mix of genres, but leans toward folk/country/americana and other "woman with guitar"-type music. There are some obvious choices and some deep cuts, and we organized them reverse-chronologically by release year.

Curated in collaboration with my favorite woman, @samwisestouthearted 🩵 (and featuring one song of ours)

Here's a folk song doing exactly what it is that folk songs do: preserving history!

Kitty MacFarlane took it upon herself to travel to a small Italian island to interview the last practitioner of an old weaving art passed down from mother to daughter through generations. The silk produced is from the filaments of a Mediterranean mollusc which are carefully and delicately woven together. The story of these women is now immortalized in song. If anyone has any additional information about this rare silk or practice, please chime in!

The scholar writes the soldier's story

But I tell mine in cloth

This the way my mother taught me

Gold as the dusted moth

It can't be sold, this thread of gold

It belongs to womankind

So I weave it in and turn it out

This burnished silk of mine

Got a beautiful song for you, written by this friend of mine... KITTY :)
