Celebrating women in music and the men and women who love them, the first annual Los Angeles Women's Music Festival featured Sophie B. Hawkins, BETTY, Klymaxx, Patrice Pike, Los Abandoned, SONiA of Disappear Fear, Brasil Brazil, SheJay DJs and many other talented artists. The event was both a ground-breaking women's music festival and a benefit for animal rescue.
Produced by Gayle Day, Miria, Gilli Moon and Toni Koch, in partnership with Warrior Girl Music, SheJay, and Adventure Art Entertainment, etc, the first Los Angeles Women's Music Festival was held on Aug 25, 2007 at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, CA, and featured 65 female performers and female-fronted bands from around the world, representing all genres of music. The official theme of the 2007 Los Angeles Women's Music Festival was Females on Fire after Warrior Girl Music's compilation albums by the same name. The festival was solar powered and offered vegan, vegetarian and organic food to attendees. We also hosted pet adoptions and raised money for animal rescue. The City of Los Angeles gave the festival an award for our contributions to the community.
Despite the success and popularity of Lilith Fair and other women's music festivals around the country, this was the first festival of its kind in Los Angeles, the heart of the music industry. The support for and response to the festival was overwhelmingly positive. As one fan put it, "I love music – and I love women!" Held at Woodley Park, home of Los Angeles' largest earth day festival, WorldFest, with power provided by eeSolar and with vegan, vegetarian and organic food, pet adoptions, children's activities, a healing arts tent and more, this was an eco-music festival with fun for the whole family.
