LOS ANGELES (March 3, 2022) – AXS TV celebrates women who rock this March, with a special International Women’s History Month multiplatform event highlighting some of music’s most legendary female artists. The lineup puts the spotlight on a roster of premiere profiles, intimate concerts, exclusive interviews, documentaries and more—airing across AXS TV’s linear channel, website, apps, social platforms, and the AXS TV NOW FAST channel, all month long.
AXS TV viewers will enjoy a slate of premieres throughout March, headlined by a pair of digital exclusive At Home And Social specials with two influential icons who redefined rock and soul for generations of music enthusiasts around the globe. The duo kicks off on March 10 as host Katie Daryl joins Heart co-founder Ann Wilson for a night of music and memories, followed by a can’t-miss conversation with the incomparable R&B mainstay Dionne Warwick–addressing everything from her unprecedented career to her infamous Twitter retorts—on March 17.
Other highlights include the AXS TV linear network’s International Women’s Day concert block on Tuesday, March 8, showcasing landmark sets by Alanis Morissette, Tina Turner, Shania Twain, Ellie Goulding, and Jewel; and the premiere of Sheryl Crow: Live From The Artists Den on March 9 at 8pE, that finds the nine-time GRAMMY® winner taking the stage at The Plaza in New York City for an unforgettable performance featuring “All I Wanna Do,” “Every Day Is A Winding Road,” “If It Makes You Happy,” and more.
The festivities continue on March 12, as AXS TV presents a day of insightful biographies in the Women’s History Month Saturday Festival at 2pE, featuring documentary premieres of Stevie Nicks: Wild At Heart, Lady Gaga: Glory, The Real Taylor Swift: Wild Dreams, and The Dolly Parton Story – From Rags To Rhinestones. The block is headlined by the premiere of the 2019 concert special Dolly Parton: 50 Years At The Opry at 8pE, a star-studded night packed with performances by Toby Keith, Emmylou Harris, Hank Williams Jr., and, of course, Dolly Parton herself, as they take the stage in Nashville to honor the Country bombshell’s 50TH Anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. And, on March 19, AXS TV pays tribute to eight of rock’s most iconic frontwomen in a special Saturday Stack lineup at 12pE, boasting profiles of Blondie, The Pretenders, The Carpenters, and Eurythmics, and performances by Garbage, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, and Alabama Shakes.
As part of Women’s History Month, the AXS TV website, apps, and social platforms are serving up fresh and original digital content in March, featuring an all-new At Home And Social special with ascending soul songstress YOLA, as well as a new edition of Rock & Tell that finds jazz siren Kandace Springs sharing some of her personal music memorabilia, and 4 Non Blondes singer-songwriter Linda Perry reveals the five albums she would take to a desert island on Stranded.
