Synopsis
Published just in time for the fair's triumphant second season, From Lilith to Lilith Fair tells the story of the phenomenally successful all-female music festival. In a moving foreword, singer and founder Sarah McLachlan describes the process of awakening that helped her recognize the need for such an event. And, through extensive interviews, author Buffy Childerhose recounts in the text how so many women came together to make the fair's first year, 1997, such a milestone -- women from Fiona Apple to Paula Cole, from Sheryl Crow to Suzanne Vega, from Jewel to Joan Osborne. The book also includes profiles of 16 historical pioneers who helped pave the way for female equality -- the fair's true forbears. Beautifully packaged and illustrated, From Lilith to Lilith Fair is an essential companion to the event that has changed the face of the music business.
