Lilith Fair Standings

by Flo on May 31, 2010

THANKS to all who voted in the Lilith Fair local talent search -  the results of the fan judging are here!

I made it to the #1 slot! Still SO surprised and overwhelmed.

Remember though, the Lilith Fair and Ourstage officials ultimately decide who gets to play and will choose the performer with strong consideration for fan votes.  Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks again, SO much.

Yours,

FP

Back in February, I entered a contest to be the featured local act at this year’s Lilith Fair in Nashville. I hadn’t thought much about it, since I was busy with FAWM and the voting process wouldn’t even start until May.

May came, and so did the BIGGEST flood in Nashville’s recent history, and Lilith Fair was the last thing on my mind…until last night. Something on Twitter caught my eye, “Top 20 Finalists Announced!”

Oh man. I hadn’t even asked for people to vote, I had forgotten all about it. I clicked the link to see where my name would fall, assuming it would be near the bottom of the 172 other Nashville contestants.

I didn’t even get past the 2nd page. There I was. #14.  I FLIPPED out. I actually felt hot and shaky.  Lilith Fair isn’t just another music festival to me.  From the moment of it’s birth in the late 90’s I’ve dreamed of playing it.

Sarah McLachlan isn’t just another artist to me either.  Through Lilith, she proved that more than one female artist could play the same bill with HUGE success. She rekindled my  love of the piano and inspired me to write my own music. She was one of the greatest influences over my early music career.

I know the voting process is tedious, but I have some of the BEST fans in the whole world and I have total faith in your support. You have been loyal album after album, project after project.

Currently I am in the semi-finals!

May 29 – May 30: Semi Finals: The top performer is chosen by fans during this time.

May 31: Contest ends and winner is chosen by OurStage and Lilith, with strong consideration of fan votes.

This is huge for me. PLEASE help me get on the Lilith Fair stage!

Tour – Atascadero, CA

July 26, 2009

I had a break for a week between the last two shows, which was nice because I got to spend it with Josh and our families, but kind of weird to be out of the groove for a few days.
I realized I really liked playing shows every night, as tiring as it was, because there [...]

Tour Day Six – Hotel Cafe

July 23, 2009

There are a couple of people I consider worthy of “best friend” status… Erin, who has been THE best friend for almost 23 years… Skylana, who I got to know, because she married…my best friend from high school-Seth.
Seth is like family to me. We’ve known each other since we were kids. During high school, we [...]

Tour Day Five – Anaheim/Bellflower, CA

July 19, 2009

Saturday we drove in to my home state.
Josh flew in that afternoon, and our good friend, Chris (he was our best man in our wedding) picked him up and we all met at Gabe and Cheri’s house in Anaheim.
Gabe and Cheri are the kind of people we can pick right back up with again, no [...]
