GR!DSM is committed to ensuring ALL self-identified girls have access to the organization’s programming.

⚡️ROCK⚡️RECORD⚡️RUN THE SHOW⚡️
GR⚡️DSM empowers cis-girls, non-binary, and trans youth & adults through self-expression, artistic agency, creative autonomy, and mentoring in music & arts-based education, collaboration, performance, and production. The mission of GR!DSM is to provide programs that enable girls, non-binary, and GNC youth to collaborate creatively in an environment of mutual respect

and positive self-expression and to build self-esteem through music education, creation, and performance. GR!DSM provides workshops and technical training, creates leadership opportunities, cultivates a supportive community of peers and mentors, and encourages social change and developing life skills through music performance and education. In support of that, no music experience is required, and no girl will be turned away for inability to pay for program participation.

GR!T Records is extraordinarily proud to announce this upcoming EP release show of Mosher/Macbrehon and their debut EP, "Lay Beholden" at xBk Live, February 22nd. Mosher/Macbrehon is songwriting duo featuring Val Mosher and Alice Macbrehon that has now evolved into a full band including band members Bridget Bell and X Libby-Whittington. Cameron Mertes, the drummer of Sarahtonin, will also join Mosher/Macbrehon on drums for this show. Bridget Bell was our 2024 GR!T featured artist and Sarahtonin was our 2023 featured artist. This will be quite a special performance of talented, young artists who have put their all into crafting exceptionally written songs. We believe in cultivating a stronger music scene in Des Moines/Iowa. One way to do that is to uplift and support young artists by providing them with the opportunities to record and produce their music and perform live. We will be seeing you at the show! Very soon, the "Lay Beholden" EP will be out on all major streaming platforms and for sale on Bandcamp.

Tickets on sale now in advance on xbklive.com! You can also buy them at the door.
