From Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the 1930s (included below for those who don't know), through the riot grrrls of the 1990s and on to the eccentric pop of St. Vincent and Lady Gaga today, women have always embraced risk and adventure — and rocked hard. This showcase at Petra’s celebrates the magic and majesty of the divine feminine plus the power chord. It’s also the grand finale of Girls Rock Charlotte’s weekend retreat at Lake Wylie, where an amazing group of women gathered to write songs, forge friendships, form bands and jam.
Price: 7 p.m.
