Tinderbox Music Festival will be held on September 26, 2010, from 3pm-12am at Southpaw in Brooklyn, NY. The fest will feature a main stage featuring headlining artist Bitch plus Jenny Owen Youngs, Hank and Cupcakes, founder Alyson Greenfield, and more, plus an underground stage featuring Larkin Grimm, Mal Blum, Lachi, and more.
The seed for Tinderbox Music Festival was planted when singer/songwriter Alyson Greenfield heard that Lilith Fair was making a comeback in 2010. Alyson decided to start “Dear Lilith Fair 2010,” a blog zealously dedicated to getting a spot on the tour. Being named one of The Deli Magazine’s “NYC Artists on the Rise,” receiving accolades from a myriad of publications such as PASTE Magazine, and having song placements on FOX, Alyson is an esteemed artist in her own right.
While blogging, Alyson received so much feedback from women musicians, pushing her to realize that even though she was glad Lilith Fair was returning, even more space was needed to showcase exciting women musicians-- and especially emerging artists.
Tickets are available in advance here and the door of the show. Doors are at 3PM. 18+. Tinderbox will donate 100% of the profits to Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls, a non-profit music and mentoring program, and Girls Write Now, an organization that provides guidance, support, and opportunities for New York City’s underserved or at-risk high school girls.
