Abstract:

The Women’s Rock Retreat was formed by Abby Pearce to give women a place to gather, collaborate, and create rock music. The majority of the retreat participants are mothers or women who do not have the time they would like to play music. The retreat separates participants into bands and the bands then spend a few days writing songs and preparing to perform at a local club in Chapel Hill. Besides playing music, the retreat was created to empower women and help them express their creative sides.
