In March, I had the privilege of being the lead-producer on Lilith Fair Tribute Channel.
Before starting on this channel – I had never heard of the festival, but knew most of the acts involved in the groundbreaking statement from incredible women who really pushed things forward.
For those like me, who I guess were quite ignorant, this best explains the premis and history behind it:
Lilith Fair was a
concert tour and travelling
music festival, founded by Canadian musician
Sarah McLachlan,
Nettwerk Music Group‘s
Dan Fraser and
Terry McBride, and New York talent agent Marty Diamond. It took place during the summers of 1997 to 1999, and was revived in the summer of 2010. It consisted solely of female solo artists and female-led bands. In its initial three years, Lilith Fair raised over $10 million for charity.
