We’re at 91 – but I was wrong about the rules for the semi-finals!

Either they changed the rules or I was hallucinating, but I just downloaded the official rule sheet from OurStage.com and we need to be in the top 20 to make the semi-finals by Monday night!  Impossible?  Hardly.  With your help, we got this!  Here’s how:

If you want to guarantee our track, Right Here Now, will come up at least once a day in your judging process, simply make Catherine Scholz your “favorite artist” by clicking the green button above once, then click it again when you get to the OurStage website.

Then,

Judge on OurStage or Judge on Facebook

Judging to make the top 20 for the semi-finals ends 9pm PST, 11pm CST and 12am EST Monday.

Lilith Fair Contest: We’re at 117/634 – need to get into top 20 by Monday to make semi-finals

We’re at 117/634 – getting so close to the top 100 – and the top 20 is where we need to be by Monday to make semi-finals.  This is so exciting to think we have a shot at playing at Lilith Fair on July 5th in San Francisco.  The thought of putting together a band and rehearsing a full set, then performing for thousands on people seems like it’s actually within reach!

Would you be willing to spend 20 minutes or more judging tracks until Monday to help us reach the semi-finals?  If you get to our track, take a screenshot and send it to us and we will send you some goodies!

New audio sample: Right Here Now v2.0

Michael Logue and I have put in some more hours on Right Here Now, the track we are submitting at the end of this month for the Lilith Fair Contest on OurStage.com.  Give this new version of Right Here Now a listen and let us know your thoughts here on my blog.  Last time we posted a sample, we got some great, practical feedback from Barry Friedman (shorten the intro.) and Julie Maria Madrona (less reverb on the vocals).  Thanks for listening and sharing the production process with us!  Here is the new sample of Right Here Now (version 2):

Enjoy! – Catherine and Michael

Lilith Fair: list of confirmed artists

“Being a part of Lilith Fair was inspiring on so many levels.

Besides discovering new music everyday and sharing the stage
with an incredible array of talented women,

it was wonderful to see established and new artists alike
have the opportunity to play in front of much larger or more diverse audiences than usual.

With that in mind, I am thrilled to announce the first set of artists for Lilith 2010.”

– Lilith co-founder and main stage headliner Sarah McLachlan
