Don\u2019t practice music in your basement and wait until it\u2019s perfect to get out there and share it. Don\u2019t let anyone tell you that you are too old or not pretty enough, or any of the awful messages we receive online and in society. Just do it! I have a pin on my ukulele strap that says \u2018Lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man\u201d and I try to embody that everytime I write and play. I have held myself back and apologized for my own ambition for too long. Now I want to celebrate that. It has inspired me to write songs that make me feel better about myself and hopefully translate that to the audience. I think there is power in a woman in her 50\u2019s having the most fun of her life and inviting others along for the party!!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telling stories, expressing myself, and learning how to be better at playing and writing music. I also felt a fire in my belly to play louder and really throw myself into a rock band! So I started one. It\u2019s proudly feminist and bold. My songwriting still, but turned up to 11. I have surrounded myself with talented female players (Alongside the ever wonderful Paul Odegaard) and we are joined by a trio of incredible musicians. Allie, Daisy and Alyse have all grown up involved in She Rock, a femme rock camp leading the way and teaching the new generation of badass musicians. Together we are Not Going Back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favourite Girl Short Bio: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Favourite Girl is the new Femme-forward rock\/pop band led by British songwriter Katy Vernon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new project builds upon her catchy songwriting and turns everything up to 11! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This almost exclusively female powered rock band performs bold and exciting songs with a feminist and timeless approach. Taking on the old boys music club and having fun with it.&nbsp;Favourite Girl will have you dancing, singing, and feeling empowered to be your truest self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katy is joined by Allie Pikala, Daisy Forester, Alyse Emanuel and Paul Odegaard. Creating a blend of harmony, rock, and a dash of brass!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex
