Women on the Walls

Celebrating the Women Who Helped Shape American Popular Music

Behind some of America’s most beloved songs are women whose names have largely faded from memory. From Tin Pan Alley to the golden age of popular song, these pioneering composers and lyricists helped define the soundtrack of their time.

Join Mount Kisco music historian Michael G. Garber for a fascinating look at these often-overlooked songwriters, including Carrie Jacobs-Bond, Dana Suesse, Elizabeth Moore, and Fleecie Moore. Drawing from his book, Songs She Wrote: Forty Hits by Pioneering Women of Popular Music, Garber will share the stories behind the music and the remarkable women who created it.

The presentation also features a display of vintage sheet music at the Blue Heron, offering a colorful glimpse into the music, art, and culture of the era.
