Bitch

Bitch is a longstanding queer music icon who Yahoo Entertainment called “a feminist force that the world needs now more than ever” when she released “Bitchcraft,” her 9th studio album, on the legendary label Kill Rock Stars in 2022. With her signature electric violin and lyrical smarts front and center over huge beats and deep synths, Bitch coined the genre “Poet Pop” and she has been touring nationally ever since, igniting her loyal following and inspiring new followers with her colorful and bold stage shows. “Bitchcraft is a masterpiece,” said Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls. Both Indigo Girls and Ani Difranco took Bitch on tour as their opener. Joey Soloway (Transparent) directed the music video for “Easy Target.” Bitch first achieved notoriety as one half of the queer folk duo Bitch and Animal. The band toured with Ani DiFranco, and released two albums on her label Righteous Babe Records. In the mid 2000s, Bitch went solo, and shared stages with the Indigo Girls, acted in John Cameron Mitchell’s film “Shortbus,” co-wrote a song with Margaret Cho, produced two albums of her elder and folk hero Ferron, and recently played a role in Audible's hit podcast "Dykes To Watch Out For," along with Jane Lynch, Carrie Brownstein and Roxanne Gay.
