As I hope you have already heard, I am returning to the Mainstage of the National Women's Music Festival this year and I am absolutely thrilled. The festival runs Thursday through Sunday afternoon and the line-up is amazing: Ann Reed, Zrazy, Chris Pureka, Wishing Chair, Karen Williams, Marga Gomez, Martine Locke, Nancy Beaudette, C.C. Carter, Ruth Barrett, Shelly Graff and Anna Vogelzang. My set is Friday night but I intend to be there when the celebrations start and hang out until the very last note fades in the distance.
The NWMF is the founding mother of women's music festivals and is near and dear to my heart as I first attended and performed there during its second year in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois in 1975. I was fresh out of college and totally energized and radicalized by this new movement called 'women's music.' As the song goes - what a long strange trip it's been!
I hope you will join me as the festival settles into it's relatively new home of Middleton, Wisconsin which is outside of Madison. Take note that this is the comfy festival which is particularly nice for those of us who are camping impaired. The festival utilizes a hotel convention center. Not a blade of grass will be harmed in the making of this event.
Here are some links for Festival Info and Ticket Sales.
SEE YOU THERE!
