Sensitive Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of harassment and sexual misconduct. Some listeners may find this content sensitive or distressing. Please listen with care.
We are back this week with a very special guest Ashley Driscoll from GrooveSafe to talk about her incredible organization and GrooveSafe's mission to stop harassment and sexual assault at live entertainment events. Ashley talks through many of the approaches GrooveSafe is taking to create a safer live music experience, along with how all of us can help and get involved with the cause. Later, Ashley offers Alex & Mike some perspective on some of the challenges faced being a woman in the jam band scene before closing out the episode with some lighthearted rapid-fire questions.
We fully support GrooveSafe's mission, and as this issue disproportionately impacts women, we thought it was appropriate to release this just before International Women's Day. We encourage all of our listeners to try to listen and learn with us during this interview, even with its challenging topics.
Be sure to check out GrooveSafe's website for more information on their mission, how to donate and how to get involved.
