Nearly 30 years later, Lilith Fair remains a cultural beacon of the 90s. Last Friday, continuing their time-honored tradition of cover sets on Halloween, @johnnybrendas held their tribute to the Lilith Fair all to benefit The @trevorproject .
Much as Lilith Fair was a showcase of the industry’s brightest, so was this tribute show, but on a local level. Organizers, DJ @lilynicks and local talent buyer @lucy_stone performed songs, as well as @alitronwadsbot , @francq__ , @sad13 , @rachelandiemusic , and too many more to keep track. All of the performers gave their time for free, ensuring that ticket sales went wholly to The Trevor Project, “the only suicide hotline that doesn’t call the cops without consent,” praised @guffy212 . “I want everyone to stay alive.”
Read the recap and see all the photos that captured the night's vibe at XPN.org!
