Women That Rock is a movement, a celebration, and a powerful showcase of the incredible talent that’s shaping the future of music. This collective, dedicated to amplifying up-and-coming women in music through curation, discovery, and media, also really knows how to throw a party. The groovement was lucky enough to attend this year’s showcase at Brooklyn Bowl, and it was an absolute vibe – a perfect way to keep the energy high throughout International Women’s Month. Despite the rainy Brooklyn evening, the night was anything but dull, thanks to three incredibly diverse and talented musical acts who took the stage and completely captivated the crowd.

First up was Rose Stoller, whose tender set was an absolute treat. With a delicate blend of whimsical melodies and soft whispery vocals, Rose created an intimate atmosphere that felt like a warm hug on the cold rainy night. Her backing band elevated the sound, adding depth to her already beautiful performance. Expect to hear more from her as she continues to build her presence in Bushwick and beyond – her music is destined for bigger stages.

Then came the incomparable duendita, who completely shifted the energy in the room. From the moment she stepped on stage, she was a force of nature. With her fusion of neo-soul and hip hop, duendita not only showcased her impeccable vocal range, but also brought a level of energy that was impossible to ignore. Despite the heavy topics her music addressed – womanhood, pain, and growth – the Queens-based performer turned Brooklyn Bowl into a high-energy dance party, with infectious drums and bold samples that kept the crowd vibing all night long. Every beat hit with the intensity of someone truly in their element, and duendita showed us all just how powerful, passionate, and unstoppable she is.

And of course, no night of femme-led energy would be complete without the one and only Madame Gandhi! She brought the house down in the most glamorous and fierce way possible. A percussionist turned powerhouse performer, Madame Gandhi doesn’t just put on a show – she creates an experience. With her effortlessly cool blend of drums, brass, and killer vocals, she had the crowd groovin' from start to finish. The live set was pure magic, effortlessly blending funk with socially conscious lyricism, leaving everyone in awe of her unique ability to curate both rhythm and message. It was the kind of performance that makes you want to dance, think, and dance some more.

All in all, the night wasn’t just about amazing music – it was about honoring and amplifying the incredible women who are shaping the future of the industry. These artists represent the heart and soul of NYC’s local music scene, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for each of them. If you haven’t already, be sure to catch them at their next shows around the city – trust us, you won’t want to miss out!
