Next up are the legendary Indigo Girls AKA Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, who like Lilith Fair founder Sarah McLachlan, performed on all incarnations of the festival. This is their NPR Tiny Desk concert from 2023 (https://youtu.be/vw-DLcZBfq0?si=i0DT4wKg5Xawv3Yc)

Shawn Colvin would go on to win both Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "Sunny Came Home”. BUT Paula Cole and Sarah McLachlan would also go home having won multiple Grammys that night

There’s also a really well made Lilith Fair concert DVD but musically it’s kind of homogenous and VERY un-diverse. Despite that, it’s still a pretty good watch. You can check that out here (https://youtu.be/HT1WyL2mCsc?si=WnEiNujbPW076SOc)

If you haven't watched Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery on Hulu yet then make it appointment viewing tonight. I am grateful I could explore both the making of the documentary with producer Cassidy Hartmann and to get more insight on the festival's historical -- and revolutionary -- context with none other than Paula Cole herself.

Read about it now on The Bluegrass Situation!

I'm listening to Paula Cole's This Fire after watching the Lilith Fair documentary and...holy shit. This album is raw as FUCK and not at all the sanitized image you'd get from her radio hits
