Looking for musical ways to celebrate International Women's Day?

The Hook and Ladder Lounge in Minneapolis is hosting an International Women's Day celebration Friday night. One of the featured performers is Joyann Parker, who Star Tribune music critic Jon Bream has called "the best Twin Cities female singer you've never heard."

Meanwhile, MPR's sister station The Current will mark the occasion by featuring women-identifying artists and hosts on the air all day long.
