Tanya Pearson is a Public Historian and Director of the Women of Rock Oral History Project, a collection of digital interviews and written transcripts documenting the lives and careers of (women-identified) rock musicians. A documentary film based on the interviews is currently in production as well as an oral history of rock music. Why Marianne Faithfull Matters, her contribution to the University of Texas Press’ Music Matters Series, was published in July, 2021. Her “work” has appeared in The Washington Post, Bust Magazine, Memoir Mixtapes, PopMatters, and some blogs, and journals.
Pearson discovered a “frustrating lack of information” about the pioneering all-female bands she had followed as a teenager, and set out to close the musical gender gap by collecting oral histories of influential women rockers and thus beginning what has now become the "Women of Rock Oral History Project".
When she's not working she enjoys writing, rock climbing, playing in her band Feminine Aggression, and watching The Golden Girls with her dog Andrew.
Ryan Newcomb is the owner of In The Q Records, a vinyl-focused indie record label with one mission: Help musicians, both past and present, bring their art to life through the magic and wonderment of vinyl records.
