ONLY ON FOX Without Going too far out on a limb, it's probably safe to say that the music industry is for the most part dominated by men. But there are two Valley women who are doing all they can to make sure female musicians are getting their chance, and it doesn't matter what kind of music the aspiring musicians play, as long as its good.

Mariah Fleming (Az Music and Entertainmnet Hall of Fame) - January 26, 2008
In addition to being a talented musician with an unforgettably great voice, Rhonda Hitchcock has a tremendous, inventive idea for Arizona music! Az Chicks With Picks is awesome, and it's happening at lightning speed! Check out their blog for all the details.
Rhonda, Pandy Raye and others affiliated with AZ Chicks With Picks and the AZ Songwriters Association brought their wonderful energy and inspiration to the AZ Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame Sept 2007 Induction Ceremony. Knowing what these folks are capable of, there is no doubt this will be a great success.
The AZ Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame is very proud to have representatives of "AZ Chicks With Picks" on our Advisory Board. We will be there on March 2nd to support this great event. Everyone will have an opportunity to purchase the VERY cool limited edition 2007 AZ Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony t-shirts that Rhonda Hitchcock designed (her talents as an artist are something to behold too!) They're going fast and are sure to be collector's items.
There's a terrific line up of Arizona gals who are providing music entertainment for the March 2nd, 2008 AZ Chicks With Picks event. Arizona needs to get out there and see what AZ Chicks With Picks has to offer.
Being a native Arizona gal involved in music since I was a kid, without a doubt AZ Chicks With Picks is an event that will go down in our music history as pivotal for Arizona women in music. It's going to be one of the most important and unusual independent music events to happen here in decades.
Be there. Be part of Arizona music history or you're bound to say "How could I have missed that?!"

‘Chicks With Picks’ starting to click
Performers bring own large crowds
By Curtis Riggs
CAVE CREEK – The Arizona Chicks With Picks concert series has shown there are many fans of the female musicians series promoters were trying to showcase in an attempt to tie the Valley music scene together.
The Standing Room Only concert crowds Cave Creek’s own singing/songwriting sensation Daisy Mallory and Prescott singer Susie Hopman attracted to the Buffalo Chip recently shows the series has become more successful than Chicks With Picks founders Pandy Raye and Rhonda Hitchcock ever expected.
Hitchcock says the concert series is “bringing a new light” to the Buffalo Chip.
“It’s amazing how all of these girls are coming out of the woodwork. Everybody has a fan base and they bring them when they come,” Hitchcock said about the large crowds at the Chip on any given Tuesday night.
“Many people are now wanting to be a part of it and that’s exactly what we wanted.” Raye is pleasantly surprised about how the concert series has been received.
“I knew all that talent was out there,” she said. Some fans already knew how good some of the Chicks With Picks musicians are. “The crowds are absolutely indicative of the talent that is out there.” Chicks With Picks concerts are held at 7 p.m. every Tuesday at the Buffalo Chip. The individual Chick With Picks series will culminate in a March 2 concert that will include many more female musicians. It will be held in the Wagon Camp behind the Buffalo Chip.
Tempe singer/songwriter Laura Sawosko performed this week. Next Tuesday, (Dec. 11), Rondavous lead signer Amy Magnussen will take the stage.
She will be followed by Jeordie on Dec. 18. A Chicks With Picks open mike event will be held at the Chip from 4 to 7 p.m. on Christmas Day.
Buffalo Chip owner Larry Wendt let Raye and Hitchcock “girl up” his Buffalo Chip since the concert series has become successful. Raye refers to the tapestry and candles around where the musicians perform as their “own little girl spot.”

Chicks With Picks to be showcased in concert series
Tuesdays at the Buffalo Chip
By Curtis Riggs
CAVE CREEK – Arizona women in music will be taking center stage at the Buffalo Chip in coming weeks as the Arizona Chicks With Picks concert series gets underway.
The idea to showcase the role of women musicians in the Valley and throughout the state came when Rondavous founder Pandy Raye and Help Me Rhonda’s Rhonda Hitchcock got together to see how they could highlight the role of women in music locally.
“It will be great to have a venue that showcases all women,” said Hitchcock, who kicked off the all-women’s Tuesday night series a couple of weeks ago. “I can’t wait to see it grow.” A different Arizona female musician will perform at the Chip beginning at 7 p.m. each Tuesday. Cave Creek’s own Daisy Mallory took the stage this week before Raye and Rondavous’ Joe Swafford closed out the night with their acoustic performance.
Twenty female Arizona singers and players will perform before a March 2 concert that will feature all of the women.
This concert will be held in the Wagon Camp behind the Buffalo Chip. An even larger reunion concert is being planned for the fall.
“Someone needed to feature all of this talent,” Raye said about why she is involved with the concert series. “There needs to be a showcase for these women.
People need to know they are out there.” Hitchcock is happy to be involved in the series because she sees many talented female musicians and wants to help further their careers.
Mikelle Leigh will perform next week on Tuesday, Nov. 20 and Susie Hopman will follow on Nov. 27.
Laura Sawosko will be the first performer in the series in December when she takes the stage on Dec. 4. Rondavous lead singer Amy Magnussen will perform on Dec. 11. Jeordie will follow on Dec. 18.
