Sunday, September 26, 2010 brought us the first Tinderbox Festival of what will hopefully be an annual event. The very musical day full of brilliant female performers took place at Southpaw in Brooklyn and was brought to us by New York's own Alyson Greenfield. Alyson moved here from Alabama a few years ago, and since then she has been making quite a splash in our fair city. This latest success started when Lilith Fair announced it's return this year. Alyson created a blog as sort of a campaign to get on the line-up. It turned out to be the start of what would be the creation of her own festival. There were many great female performers included in this first year, including Jenny Owen Youngs, Hank & Cupcakes, Jessie Murphy in the Woods, and a performance by Alyson Greenfield herself. The full list of performances was as follows:

There were many memorable moments throughout the evening, but my favorite was probably this line from Ms Greenfield, "Casio. Get one. It will change your life forever." I would like to add this tagline, "Tinderbox. Stick around. It will change New York forever."
Tune in to this station for all the latest happenings across the universe. Mostly this will be music news and upcoming dates but there will also be the occasional commentary on everything from movies to politics.
