This isn’t just a show.
It’s a moment.
A space where women in music come together to be seen, heard, and celebrated for what they bring to the stage and beyond it.

From the moment the event began, the atmosphere was filled with creativity, connection, and support.

Her performances carry a depth that connects instantly with listeners — drawing them into the music through honesty and expression. Gina represents the kind of artist who doesn’t just perform songs, but shares experiences.
With a strong sense of identity and artistry, she continues to carve out her space in the music scene while inspiring others to do the same.
Each artist brought something unique to the stage — from powerful vocals to heartfelt storytelling — creating a night that felt both personal and inspiring.
This wasn’t about competition.
It was about community.
Behind the Scenes Support
Events like this don’t come together without the people working behind the scenes — and this one was no exception.
A big thank you to Ali from Basement Root Entertainment, drummer for Digging for Change and 3 Quarter, for her support and presence throughout the event. Her dedication to both music and community continue to make an impact in the PNW scene.
And of course, we can’t forget her sidekick — Jasper the rock dog — bringing a little extra personality and charm to the night.
More Than Music
What made this event stand out even more was the presence of women-led businesses supporting the experience.
From creative vendors to community builders, this wasn’t just a music event — it was a collaborative space where women uplifted one another across multiple paths.
Why This Matters
Events like this aren’t just important — they’re necessary.
They create space.
They build visibility.
They inspire the next generation.
And most importantly:
They remind us of that woman in music — and in business — are not a “category.” They are a force.
LTATM EVENT REVIEW:
The leaders behind this event, Meghanne Storey and Sunny Loudin, did an incredible job bringing together creative women from across the PNW.
On March 23rd, 2025, the event featured powerful performances, amazing vendors, and a strong sense of community — including yours truly representing LTATM.
Having coordinated festivals and events for many years, I can confidently say this was a well-executed and thoughtfully put-together event.
Hosted at the Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma, the venue provided a breathtaking backdrop for a night that truly celebrated creativity and connection.
I’m hoping Spotlight: Creative Women of the PNW becomes a yearly tradition.
Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma
Everyone had an amazing time. The venue, Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma, was a breathtaking space that continues to support and host local music. Known for hosting a wide range of live shows and community events, it has become an important hub for musicians in the area.
Originally built in 1911 as part of the historic McMenamins Elks Temple, the Spanish Ballroom has long been a gathering place for music, dancing, and community events. After years of restoration, the space was brought back to life while preserving its original character — from its large open dance floor to its vintage architectural details.
Today, the Spanish Ballroom blends history with modern live music culture, giving artists and audiences a unique space to connect. From local showcases to touring acts, it continues to play an important role in Tacoma’s creative scene.
