Lilith Fair & Sarah McLachlan
Lilith Fair was a concert tour and traveling music festival, founded by musician Sarah McLachlan, that featured female musicians; it ran from 1997 to 1999.
Overview:
In 1996, McLachlan became frustrated with concert promoters and radio stations that refused to feature two female musicians in a row. Refusing to bow to sexism or conventional industry wisdom, she booked a successful tour for herself and Paula Cole. At least one of their appearances together - in McLachlan’s home town Vancouver, on September 14, 1996 - went by the name “Lilith Fair” and included performances by McLachlan, Cole, Lisa Loeb and Michelle McAdorey, formerly of Crash Vegas. The next year, McLachlan founded the Lilith Fair tour, taking Lilith from the legend that Lilith was Adam’s first wife and fair as a way to cultivate an image of beauty and equality. McLachlan modeled the tour after Lollapalooza.
At each Lilith Fair venue, one dollar for each ticket sold was given to a women’s charity in that community.
