If you were a fan of Melissa Ehtridge, the Indigo Sisters, and Sara McLachlan in the mid ‘90s, chances are, you attended Lilith Fair. Back in 1996, McLachlan apparently became “frustrated with concert promoters and radio stations that refused to feature two female musicians in a row” and decided to do something about it. McLachlan and Paula Cole went on tour together, and one of their bigger shows was c...
