Meg Strouse / OC Weekly
Emmylou Harris at Lilith.
This week in local music coverage that isn't ours: Lilith Fair gets positive-yet-bored reviews, Billy Kernkamp gets real, big-name touring acts get money problems.

  • Register music guru Ben Wener eats crow for earlier carping about this summer's lineup at the Pacific Amphitheatre, which is experiencing stellar sales. Turns out, LeAnn Rimes and the B-52's fill seats. [OC Register]
