Lilith Fair

I know that Lilith Fair seems "so 10 years ago," but when I heard about the line up of women who would be performing at the Chicago show, I knew I had to be there.

Mackensey, Jackie (friend, not mother-in-law) and I headed out to Tinley Park one very hot Saturday to enjoy.

When we arrived, there were several different bands playing on smaller side stages, warming up the crowd for the eventual mainstage festivities. Two of the "side groups" I most enjoyed were Katie Todd and Vedera.






Of course, the mainstage is what it's all about. After a not-so-impressive performance by Kate Nash (I'm not a fan of the lyrics "suck it more"), we were treated to the Courtyard Hounds (also known as the remnant of the Dixie Chicks), Heart (a classic!!), Mary J. Blige and, of course, Sarah McLachlan. The final three performances alone were worth the price of admission. It was just amazing to see all these phenomenal women in action. It was a fantastic evening.
