Women in Music Networking Night: Honoring Bettye Crutcher

Join us to celebrate the closing of the Bettye Crutcher exhibit, “Bettye’s Bin, by honoring Ms. Crutcher’s legacy and strengthening the network of women building careers in Memphis music. Ms. Crutcher holds the distinction of being Stax Records’ only female staff songwriter, and her story is a powerful reminder of why community and access matter in the music business. This event highlights the power of mentorship, professional connections, and community in building careers.

To mark the exhibit’s closing, we’re hosting a Women in Music Networking Night on Wednesday, March 25, designed to build relationships and expand opportunities. Research from a Berklee College of Music survey underscores the impact of mentorship and networking—92% of women who were mentored report higher satisfaction with career growth.

Women working in music are invited to connect with other female professionals and hear real-world perspectives on challenges and best practices. Expect guided icebreakers, speed networking, community conversation, and time to meet the women who are making a living in music in Memphis—from artists and songwriters to producers, engineers, managers, and more. Bring your contact info and socials, and come ready to grow your network.

Featured panelists will be announced soon. Follow along for updates as we reveal the women joining the conversation.
