Hearing that the all-female music festival Lilith Fair was returning in 2010, Alyson Greenfield decided to start “Dear Lilith Fair 2010,” a blog dedicated to trying to get on the tour. Many readers and fellow musicians responded to the blog with excitement, and Alyson soon recognized the existence of a large community of female musicians and their fans who wanted to be part of a women-driven music festival reflecting the current landscape of diverse and emerging musical talent. Alyson then took the initiative to start a new music festival, located in New York City, to showcase female artists — both up-and-coming local artists as well as more established performers. She brought on J.D. and former singer/songwriter/producer Jennifer Newman and entertainment business affairs maven Alicia Matusheski. Tinderbox was born.
This is the story I wanted to share with you today. Alyson is a friend of mine with an awesome idea that I want to support. I have linked to the Kickstarter Fundraiser above, and I’m asking that everyone 1) donate whatever they can, and 2) tell all your friends about it and ask them to do the same. Even if you’re strapped for cash, we understand and simply ask you pass this on to someone who might be more able to help. Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
