More Tinderbox Updates 08/04/2010
Dear Lilith Fair,
Tinderbox is moving along! I’ve been learning SO much through this process and I find it fascinating and empowering to be on the opposite side of the music industry! I recently attended New Music Seminar in NYC and many of the panelists were talking about how artists have to put things into their own hands. It feels great to not be waiting for someone to let me be a part of something bigger, but to be creating it myself. I have been overwhelmed by how much people have wanted to get involved with Tinderbox and help/participate in any way they can. It seems that there truly is a need to create more community and space for women musicians and I am happy that I can help provide that!
Some exciting updates about Tinderbox include current confirmed artists:
BITCH
JENNY OWEN YOUNGS
SHILPA RAY AND HER HAPPY HOOKERS
KALAE ALL DAY
and current confirmed sponsors:
PAI MEDIA
