NAMM Believe In Music Week '21 wrap up pt. 2: She Rocks Awards with Nancy Wilson of Heart, the Go-Go's, Amy Lee

The ninth annual She Rocks Awards went virtual for the first time on January 22.

Presented by the Women’s International Music Network (the WiMN), the online celebration started off with a red carpet Q&A with the honorees, followed by the pre-show countdown hosted by Yahoo Entertainment music editor Lyndsey Parker, and the evening finished with this year's honorees hosted by Lzzy Hale of the rock band Halestorm: Heart's Nancy Wilson, The Go-Go’s, Cherie Currie of The Runaways, Amy Lee, Margaret Cho and others. 

Highlights included Lzzy Hale doing “Rock Show” with bandmate Joe Hottinger, Cherie Currie with special guests, Suzi Quatro, Jake Hays and Nick Gilder, on “Roxy Roller,” an exclusive intimate piano performance of a new Evanescence song “Use My Voice” by leader Amy Lee. The Go-Go’s did their impressive new single, “Club Zero” and Nancy Wilson supplied a Springsteen cover of “The Rising” with her backing band set for her next album.


The She Rocks Awards pays tribute to women who display leadership and stand out within the music industry, and has become a standard at the NAMM Show.
