The first North American female fronted hard rock fest, Dame-Nation™, will be hosting it's fifth annual event in Chicago, IL on August 15th, 2013.

Cradle of Filth's touring backing vocalist and pianist Schoolcraft will host Reggies Music Joint Stage. "Lindsay and I have a fond respect for one another in regards to personality, promoting and showcasing the talents of female singers and fronted bands. Schoolcraft will be returning for her third Dame-Nation appearance. I was excited to hear that she was chosen to join Cradle of Filth on tour this year. I'm extremely proud of her accomplishments as a musician", says Dame-Nation owner and producer Eric Sanchez.

Her biography states, "*Currently on tour as backing vocals and pianist for Cradle Of Filth: http://www.theorderofthedragon.com

After fronting various rock bands since her teens, Canadian native Schoolcraft felt it was time to do something very different: “It just felt right, the music I’ve always written could survive the song writing process with or without a band.” As the familiar face from Mary and The Black Lamb and the guest vocalist on Daedalean Complex’s album titled “A Rose For The Dead,” through her musical contributions, she says her solo effort feels like coming “Home”.

...With the release of her first EP “Rushing Through The Sky,” Schoolcraft describes it as “dark, beautiful, elegant, humble, and smart”. Thanks to contributing musicians such as Daedalus (Daedalean Complex) for orchestral collaboration and Kitty Thompson (Johnny Hollow) on cello, she was able to achieve her vision.

...Schoolcraft’s sound was honed from her years at The Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto), where she received classical training in voice and piano..." http://arcanerecords.bandcamp.com

The fest will feature two stages; the main stage being the Rock Club Stage and the second stage being the Music Joint stage. Reggies Chicago is located at 2109 South State Street, Chicago, IL 60616.

Schoolcraft is a musician from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Her solo EP, Rushing Through The Sky, was released on September 25, 2012. It was announced this spring that Schoolcraft would be touring with Cradle of Filth as backing vocals and pianist.
