Lilith Fair

A few weeks ago, my mother and I were talking about the current state of women in music.

Well, I was talking and she was sort of listening.

I mentioned how music seems to move in waves, and that there are currently a lot of great female musicians. Then, I said, "That's why Lilith Fair needs to run again. It's time."

A few days ago, I learned that Lilith Fair will be returning in 2010. As of right now, all they're talking about is a two week trip through Europe. But considering the fact that Sarah McLachlan is still involved with the tour, I'm sure it will be expanded to North America.

Here is who I would like to see, in no particular order, other than the Indigo Girls being very near the top, since they weren't at the Hershey concert in '98 or '99:

Sarah McLachlan (obviously)
Brandi Carlile
Missy Higgins
Indigo Girls
Tegan and Sara
Corinne Bailey Rae
Uh Huh Her
Dido
A Fine Frenzy
Heather Nova
Jen Foster
Shawn Colvin
Dixie Chicks
Melissa Etheridge
P!nk
Toby Lightman
Sara Bareilles
Sheryl Crow

But I suppose I could live with just a handful of those artists at one concert. Of course, some of them (A Fine Frenzy, Jen Foster, Toby Lightman) would be on one of the smaller stages.

Plus, as I like to say: As the Indigo Girls go, so goes Brandi Carlile.

This is so awesome. Maybe I'll finally be able to replace my Lilith Fair '98 jacket with a brand new Lilith Fair '10 (or 2010) jacket.

In other news, I'm probably going to go see Sara Evans again. I mean, I paid $65 for a membership to AMT. I should probably take advantage of it. I saw her at the same venue a few years ago, but our seats weren't great. The tickets don't go on sale for two weeks, so I still have some time to decide.
