Lilith Fair: Full Tour Dates Adds Queen Latifah, Carly Simon

SARAH McLACHLAN HEADS UP A HUGE LINEUP OF FEMALE ARTISTS

Carly Simon and Queen Latifah are the latest additions to the Lilith Fair 2010 lineup. Simon will appear on three dates (Boston, Hartford and New York), and Latifah will appear on two dates (Detroit and Las Vegas). Additionally, the line-ups for the remaining 10 cities set to go on-sale over the next two weeks are now posted on LilithFair.com.

Lilith co-founders Terry McBride and Marty Diamond comment on the latest artist additions. Says McBride, “Carly Simon embodies the entire spirit of Lilith. She is a generational icon who continues to have a tremendous influence on so many women, whether musicians or fans. I can guess that many of the Lilith 2010 artists were impacted by her voice and words at some point. It’s truly an honor that she has come on board.” Adds Diamond, “Queen Latifah’s spirited performances on the original Lilith Fair are still some of the most memorable. She has had a remarkable career over the past 11 years, from music, to acting to now film production. She is a role model and inspiration to many, and we are thrilled that she is taking the time from her hectic schedule to rejoin the tour. “

Tickets are currently on-sale for 26 of the 36 markets. Boston and Hartford are the next to go on-sale this Saturday, May 8. There will be 11 artists on each date, with only two consistencies per show: the Lilith Local Talent Search Ourstage.com winner who starts the day and headliner Sarah McLachlan.

Alan Charing: Stitch Out Now

ALAN CHARING FIRST RECORD IN SIX YEARS, STITCH, OUT NOW

Alan Charing

Portland, OR based musician Alan Charing is celebrating the release of his first full-length in six years, Stitch, which follows up Notes for the Conversation, released under the moniker A.C. Cotton.

Stitch (LazyBone Records) also marks Alan Charing’s return to performing under his own name. Originally playing out as Alan Charing, and then The Alan Charing Controversy, he eventually decided to call the group A.C. Cotton to give it more of a band feeling.

The result was A.C. Cotton’s 2001 debut, Half Way Down (Ahab Was Right), followed in 2004 by Notes for the Conversation (Ahab Was Right). With Notes the band toured the West Coast relentlessly, before Charing decided to take a break from music and work on other endeavors.

Five years in the making, the result is Stitch, an eleven-track collection of rock ‘n’ roll that owes as much to Bruce Springsteen as it does The Rolling Stones.

Mixed by Mike Coykendall (M. Ward, Beth Orton, Richmond Fontaine), Stitch features members of Uncut Magazine favorites Fontaine, Laura Gibson‘s band, and other Northwest musicians to help Charing fill out the collection of roots-tingled, pop-coated Southern rock songs that would make Tom Petty sit back and smile.

You can hear tracks from and purchase Stitch at lazybones.com/alan_listen.html.
