Before Taylor Swift. Before any of them. There was Carrie Jacobs-Bond. In an era when women weren't supposed to be in the music business at all, she built one anyway. On her own terms.

Distinguished Professor Christopher Reynolds kicks off the 2026 Frances E. Willard Pioneering Women Series with the story of a songwriter, entrepreneur, and trailblazer who changed what was possible for women in music.

June 10th only at RCHS. $10 for RCHS Members, $12 for General Admission. Details and registration at the link in the comments.
