lilith fair 2010

My sister Kat and I went to the Lilith Fair concert on July 12, 2010

Lilith Fair began as a movement to celebrate the many talented and diverse female musicians in the world. It was founded by our favorite Sarah Mclachlan in 1997. From 1997 to 1999 Lilith Fair was one of the highest grossing touring festivals and now 11 years later, we were soo glad that they're back!!! This years event was held at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine

When we got there we saw a line of people getting autographs and pictures so Kat and I checked it out and met Jes Hudak an up and coming artist. We think that she might be the next big thing so we got her to sign an autograph on our ticket and took a picture w/her...Jes is a really cool gal and her manager is nice too!!!

after having lunch we met a few cool people from New Zealand, Tracy & Kevin (siblings). Tracy came here to the event because she won it from a contest from their homeland (all expense paid trip and all!!! awesome huh???), funny thing is they don't know anyone from the lineup but thought the experience of travelling to the US and meeting people is cool...

after meeting Tracy and Kevin we thought that a fair wouldn't be complete without having funnel cake! it was soo delish!!!

as you can tell i was really enjoying it!!! hehe

i knew it was going to get cold so i brought a change of clothes...change of outfits for moi lol...

more pictures at the main stage area

the first performer was brandi carlile, followed by emmylou harris, jenni rivera, miranda lambert and sarah mclachlan...

i think the artist performing here was jenni rivera, she was really good, and she performed w/the mariachi band...

sarah was the last act and she performed songs from her old albums, and 3 from the new one...she was amazing!!! her encore song our fave "ice cream"!!! sarah's concert wouldn't be the same w/o her singing "ice cream" :)

overall concert experience, soo glad we went this year and hopefully the tour will come back next year, the crowd were not as much as years before, im thinking because there wasn't that much known artists on her lineup in the la show...
