Females On Fire & CARE
As previously mentioned, Care (www.care.org) was chosen as an organization to donate part of our proceeds of the new Females On Fire 3 compilation. CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. They place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community -based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives. Their mission is "to serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in the world. Drawing strength from our global diversity, resources and experience, we promote innovative solutions and are advocates for global responsibility."
Females On Fire is committed to supporting CARE, which in turn helps with their fight against poverty and their efforts to empower women in the developing world. We donated $500 towards CARE this month ($1 per first 500 CDs sold). www.care.org for more details about this wonderful organization.
Latest distribution of the compilation
All 3 Females On Fire CDs were recently exhibited at the Indiegrrl Conference in Virginia. They will be exhibited at the upcoming Dewey Beach Music Festival, Delaware this coming weekend; the Independent Music Conference at Musician’s Institute, Hollywood on Fri 10, Sat 11 and Sun 12 October; and it will be exhibited at the Taxi Road Rally 6-9 November, near LAX. What this means is, we have them on display on an exhibition booth (shared with Songsalive!, the non profit organization supporting songwriters which I co-founded and preside over). When music industry representatives express interest in it, we give them a copy of the CD and we follow up later to see if they showed more interest. We also have them for sale as part of WGM’s ability to recoup costs.
We have them available at Cdbaby.com (scroll down to “How you can make money” for a Cdbaby $ opportunity) .

reviews
"The thing that immediately struck me about this compilation is the incredible selection of styles from the musicians. Almost everything is represented from full out rock and roll to raunchy harmonica-infused country to tender ballads and everything in between. With impeccable production and a quality of songwriting that is incredible, this CD was a treasure chest of unknown (at least to me) gems." ~ Rock and Roll Report."

THE FESTIVAL
August 07: We produced (with Gaia Rocks) Females On Fire, the Los Angeles Women's Music Festival in Los Angeles, attracting 3000 people, on Saturday 25th, August 2007 and it was a huge success! Celebrating women in music and the men and women who love them, Females On Fire - The Los Angeles Women's Music Festival, featured more than 100 artists and performers from around the world, including female headline acts and an eclectic array of female singer/songwriters and female-fronted bands representing all styles and genres of music. Also included were poets and spoken word artists, comedians, as well as vendor and exhibitor booths, children's activities, workshops, vegan and organic food vendors, healing arts, pet adoptions and more. Proceeds of this year's festival benefited animal rescue organizations. More details here We are unsure there will be a 2008 festival yet. We are awaiting news from our sponsors. But there will definitely be some Females On Fire events coming up.
