Manda Mosher

The WorldFest 2009 Earth Day Festival, took place this past Saturday at Woodley Park in Encino, CA. Several sirens were on hand for the celebration such as The Chapin Sisters, Manda Mosher and one of my favorite new bands, Obi Best.

Manda Mosher’s debut album, Everything You Need, was released last month, and she will be making an appearance on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson this Thursday, May 21st. For more info on Manda, visit her myspace page.

Obi Best lead singer, Alex Lilly, announced on stage that it was her birthday, but evidently SoCal Edison never got an invite, because the power kept shutting off throughout the set. Despite the technical difficulties, they were troopers and finished the set, having to forgo instruments that weren’t working.

Nikka Costa will be playing a few shows in California this June. She always puts on a great show so definitely get out and show her your support if she comes to your city.

It was recently announced that Lilith Fair will be returning in 2010. For those of you not in the know, Lilith Fair was a festival started by Sarah McLachlan that featured only female artists and female-led bands. From 1997 – 1999, the festival featured artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Paula Cole, Lisa Loeb, Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, the Cardigans, Jewel, Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, Erykah Badu, Natalie Merchant, Liz Phair, and many others.

The 2010 lineup hasn’t been announced yet but I would like to suggest getting the Sundays back on stage!
