Credit Marty Pearl Stephanie Gary and Carrie Neumayer are one-half of the Louisville-based post-punk band Julie of the Wolves. They’re also co-organizers of the upcoming Louisville Outskirts Festival, a non-profit volunteer-run weekend celebrating music made by female-identified artists. The inaugural Outskirts Fest is planned for October of this year. In addition to lots of live music, the event will include music workshops for girls and exhibit space for women business owners, artists and makers and social justice organizations. Outskirts Festival will hold its first fundraiser show Thursday, April 10, at The New Vintage, featuring Screaming Females, Debauchees and Julie of the Wolves (its an all-ages event). WFPLs Erin Keane sat down with Gary and Neumayer to talk about why Louisville is finally ready for a women’s music festival and how they want the event to challenge assumptions about what it means to be a female musician.
