Riverfest, a Columbus Georgia tradition for 31 years is sponsoring an all woman stage this year on Saturday the 29th, paying recognition to the women who are participating. WOMANROCK.com will be covering the festival and handing out information in the Folklife Village. This event is special for me because I have been asked to headline the Saturday stage and will be putting my computer away for an entire weekend (I might not even bring the laptop) and picking up my guitar down in Georgia! ** Special Thanks to James and Vikki King for bringing me and WOMANROCK.com down to Columbus GA for Riverfest. www.WOMANROCK.com RIVERFEST 2000 ARTISTS [ April 28-30, Columbus, Ga. ] AMANDA GARRIGUES "Average Sinner Records . It's a lot of work, but it's really empowering. I am still open to the idea of being part of a larger label to help me with my a career, but I am going to continue to release music independently." http://womanrock.com/interviews/amanda_garrigues.html NICKI SUTHERLAND "Technology has made it easier for us to connect with people, but ultimately, it's the people that help you make things happen." http://womanrock.com/interviews/nicki_sutherland.html MORE BANDS OF THE SOUTHEAST ROCK BAND LIFT by Brenda Kahn All-girl band Lift started as a concept in the mind of Molly Bancroft back in 1992. Through the nineties, Lift recorded two full length albums, an EP, toured with the Indigo Girls, defined their sound, their look and their ideals. http://womanrock.com/features.html ALASTOR "My two main guitars are silver: a Fender Telecaster and a Gretsch Silver Jet. I've also got another tobacco sunburst Telecaster and a black Takamine acoustic… I definitely get way too excited in vintage guitar shops." (this interview will post at: http://womanrock.com/features.html) AND MORE TO COME IN APRIL!! A CHICK ROCK SHOW BY ANY OTHER NAME… http://womanrock.com/events.html It's almost time to start planning the next "Planet Girl" event. But due to a conflict of trademarks, we can no longer use the moniker "Planet Girl" as it is already being used for a teen webzine that hosts their own events. Although we've become quite fond of the name, it is time to move on and redefine ourselves!! For this reason, we are holding a contest to see who can find the best way to represent the "Planet Girl" Event with a new name. WINNER will receive 12 CD's by the WOMANROCK artists who recorded for our upcoming compilation CD at the "Planet Girl" event in Philadelphia. Something new… THE 51% CAMPAIGN At WOMANROCK.com, we are dedicated to promoting awareness within the community of women cross-racially and without age bias. Although we are a music website, this month, we are launching the 51% Campaign. Our goal is to bring awareness to where women are in the world today as a global community that accounts for 51% of the world's population. I encourage all of you to write in and give us your statistics at 51percent@WOMANROCK.com Check out the page at http://womanrock.com/features/fifty_one.html Yours in rock, Brenda Kahn P.S. If you are in Boston Saturday, April 16th, I will be speaking on a panel at the NEMO conference at 4:30 PM on "The Philosophy of Fanzines"! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
