Lilith Fair Chicago Date Info Revealed

Some information has leaked out regarding the upcoming return of Lilith Fair this summer. The Chicago date will be Saturday, July 17th, at the First Midwest Theatre. The lineup for Chicago so far includes Cat Power, Heart, Kate Nash, Kelly Clarkson, La Roux, Mary J Blige, Meaghan Smith, Sarah McLachlan, Vedera , and Vita Chambers, plus a yet to be determined local band.

Yes, that's the same weekend as Pitchfork Festival - kind of a bad scheduling call, in my opinion, as plenty of folks going to Pitchfork would probably have wanted to see Lilith. For more information, check out the Lilith Facebook page.

Happy International Women's Day!

Today, March 8th, has been designated as International Women's Day by the United Nations, with the goal of drawing attention to the political and human rights of women. I am especially grateful this day to the women I know who have fought in ways large and small to make the world a better place for women and girls. I hope if you, like me, know one of those women, you will thank them today.
