Meghan "ALL ABOUT THAT BASS" Trainor To Headline Dinah Shore 2015!

ALL ABOUT THAT …. DINAH!
MEGHAN TRAINOR
BRINGS “THAT BASS” TO
THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF

CLUB SKIRTS DINAH SHORE WEEKEND


Los Angeles, CA – Pop sensation Meghan Trainor is confirmed to headline the highly anticipated 25th Anniversary of the legendary Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, April 1-5, 2015 in Palm Springs, CA.

The 20-year-old singer-songwriter from Nantucket will grace the main stage of the Palm Springs Convention Center during the Dinah’s “Black Party” on Saturday, April 4th, 2015 in Palm Springs, CA.

Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, popularly known as “The Dinah”, is the biggest & largest lesbian event of its kind in the world.  Founded and produced by Mariah Hanson, The Dinah has, for the past 25 years, continuously been changing minds and changing lives, offering women from all over the world the opportunity to express their true selves and gain an extraordinary amount of self worth.   

Considered a bucket list event by lesbians of all ages, The Dinah continues to inspire, provoke and entertain.

With The Dinah, Hanson has created a haven where acceptance and tolerance rule. More than a pop song with an infectious beat, “Bass” is a bold self-acceptance message that shares and celebrates the same life philosophy as The Dinah: be free to be who you are.

“Meghan Trainor is the perfect artist to headline the 2015 Dinah, our milestone year. Her song is a record breaking number one billboard hit, and in addition it invokes a new social paradigm that places less emphasis on the exterior and more emphasis on the fact that we are all beautiful and that that beauty comes in many shapes, colors and sizes. I'm especially proud to join with Meghan in sending out this wonderful life-affirming message to our guests. It's time. And it's our time!“ says Mariah Hanson, founder and promoter of Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend.

Trainor’s insanely catchy single “All About That Bass” was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks, rewriting the record for the longest-ruling No. 1 single ever released on Epic Records - dethroning The King of Pop’s "Billie Jean" in 1983 and  "Black or White” in 1991, which were on top for seven weeks.
“All About that Bass” has already gone four times platinum and has also become the longest-leading No. 1 by a woman this year.

The unstoppable Trainor is kicking off 2015 with a bang embarking on her first ever North American headline tour, THAT BASS tour. In the meantime, she has already released the second single, “Lips Are Movin,'” from her upcoming debut Album “Title” out January 13, 2015, which is quickly climbing up the charts.  Meghan was nominated for “New Artist of the Year” at the American Music Awards and is up for Best New Female Musician at the LOGO NewNowNext Awards. 

Hanson’s natural knack for spotting the next best thing in music has transformed The Dinah into the inescapable venue for newcomers to breakthrough. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Kesha and just this year Iggy Azalea are a few examples of artists who, post-Dinah, systematically went on to hit international superstar status.

The music industry now looks at The Dinah as a pivotal indicator in the success of emerging artists' careers, and has put the festival on the A list of all festivals. The Dinah has undeniably made a name for itself as not only an important festival landmark welcoming the biggest names in the music industry; but also the MUST-DO Spring event of the Palm Springs festival season.

Meghan Trainor is the first confirmed headliner joining the 2015 Dinah Entertainment Line-Up.  Mariah Hanson will be announcing more top-notch performers by the end of the year and early 2015.

April 1-5, 2015 Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend is turning twenty-five and taking the landmark event to new heights … from EPIC to HISTORIC!

DINAH SHORE 2014 Breaks ALL Club Skirts ATTENDANCE RECORDS!

CLUB SKIRTS BREAKS ALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS AS CROWDS GATHERED 
FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE TO WITNESS WHAT SOME ARE CALLING 

THE BEST DINAH LINE UP IN HISTORY.  

PALM SPRINGS, CA - There are no words to describe the 2014 Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend. Pulling all the stops, the event was not only massive  but was also, and most importantly, pure magic. The Dinah 2014 was filled with special moments, unforgettable firsts, and significant milestones.


Thousands of women from all over the world gathered in Palm Springs over this past weekend to attend the 24th anniversary of the biggest lesbian event of its kind on the planet, Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend - the original Dinah Shore Weekend. 

The Dinah 2014 was all about celebration, living out loud and transforming lives. 

The legendary annual 5-day event not only provided a life changing experience to all attendees offering them the freedom to be who they truly are and gain a tremendous amount of self worth, but also to its epic slate of Top Ten Billboard headliners that made up one hell of a line up - one of the greatest in The Dinah's history.

Tegan and Sara’s sold out concert marked the first time the lesbian cult favorites performed at an all lesbian event. The Canadian twin sisters gave an emotionally heartfelt speech on stage about how they’ve always dreamed of attending The Dinah. 

Rap titan EVE, who drew massive crowds, enjoyed her Dinah experience so much that she joined the crowd on the dance floor after her electrifying show. Mary Lambert, the voice behind Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ VMA award-winning pro-equality “Same Love”, brought the crowd to tears at the Sunday Pool Party with a live performance that can only be described as stunningly divine. Meanwhile Grammy Award-Winning R&B diva, Evelyn "Champagne" King raised the roof with her multi-million selling classic old-school smashes  “Shame” and ”Love Come Down”. 

Also, hip-hop’s biggest revelation, Iggy Azalea, whose brand new single “Fancy” is currently sitting at #1 on several music charts around the world, gave a killer performance during the White Party delivering her spellbinding rap songs with effortless repartee and leaving Dinah audiences in complete awe. Having played an integral part in catapulting the careers of international superstars in the likes of Lady Gaga, Kesha, Katy Perry and The Pussycat Dolls - all Dinah alumnae - the Aussie blonde bombshell is certifiably already on her way to follow the footsteps of her predecessors. 

Another smash hit at this year’s monumental Dinah Shore Weekend was the L Word Pool Party hosted in association with Showtime. Originally scheduled for Saturday, the event had to be extended (at the last minute) to Sunday as well due to overwhelming response.  

The L Word reunion was a Dinah exclusive with the series icons, Laurel Holloman selling her abstract art poolside, and Leisha Hailey and Katherine Moennig hosting a meet-and-greet that wrapped around the side of the entire pool area of the Hilton hotel.

As 2014 marked the 10th Anniversary of the official television debut of The L Word, Club Skirts and SHOWTIME proudly commemorated the nostalgia of a memorable era in lesbian culture that celebrated out loud our “girls in tight dresses who drag with mustaches”.

All in all, The Dinah 2014 was beyond EPIC - significantly the largest Dinah EVER. 

The legendary Palm Springs’ signature event broke all records on so many different levels and proved to be an unprecedented massive success.

A cultural phenomenon that has over these past 24 years reached stratospheric proportions,The Dinah has certifiably come to represent an ever-growing movement that has crossed over to mainstream bringing more and more visibility to the lesbian community - one that had never existed before.

As The Dinah 2014 came to a close, we all departed Palm Springs with profound nostalgia for a one-of-a-kind weekend that gifted our hearts with unforgettable memories and changed our lives forever. 

We can now all look forward to next year as the Dinah turns 25, April 1-5, 2015.
Club Skirts founder and producer, Mariah Hanson, is already planning for the milestone Silver Jubilee’s Anniversary, which promises to be like nothing we've ever seen before.

IGGY AZALEA To Headline Dinah Shore 2014

HIP-HOP’S BIGGEST REVELATION
IGGY AZALEA
ANNOUNCED AS ONE OF THE HEADLINERS
AT THE 2014 CLUB SKIRTS DINAH SHORE WEEKEND



Palm Springs, CA – Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend – the largest lesbian event of its kind in the world – has confirmed Iggy Azalea as one of the 2014 main headliners.

Iggy Azalea, one of the most hyped MCs/female rapper in American hip-hop, is set to headline The Dinah’s Friday night “White Party” at the Palm Springs Convention Center on April 4, 2014.

Azalea whizzed into Internet fame as the white girl (now L.A. based) with a raw, no-nonsense delivery, a penchant for dirty talk, and a string of stylized, provocative music videos.  She has already garnered buzz with mixtapes ("Ignorant Art," "TrapGold"), her "Glory" Ep, working with her manager and "mentor," T.I.  

Being an MTV Artist to Watch, snatching a major record deal with Island Def Jam, touring with Beyoncé in Australia, and preparing her debut album “The New Classic” (due out early next year), Azalea has established herself as an unmistakable member of rap music’s next generation. She broke through a long-standing barrier within hip-hop by becoming the first female MC named to XXL Magazine’s “Freshmen Class” list of rap’s fastest-rising young stars.

She recently made headlines, joining Robin Thicke onstage at the 2013 MTV EMAs to perform “Blurred Lines”, dazzling in a metallic mini-dress with matching knee-high boots. The Aussie bombshell, who kept a safer distance from the crooner than Miley Cyrus, delivered a powerful new rap verse to the smash hit sans “twerking” drama. Yet, the Australian femcee is certainly no stranger to controversy having turned heads with her provocative videos for her hits  “Two Times” and “Pu$$y”.

Other notables joining the Sydney, Australia-born rapper include rock band and stars of “The Real L Word”, Hunter Valentine, as well as Mary Lambert, the featured vocalist and songwriter on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ VMA award-winning pro-equality anthem “Same Love”, which just received a Grammy nomination for "Song of The Year", and Porcelain Black, among many others.

Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend delivers another roof-raising celebration with a steamin' hot lineup that will most definitely blow the lid off the sunny oasis!

Get ready for the 2014 Dinah Shore Weekend … it’s gonna be a big one!
  
Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend takes place April 2-6, 2014 in Palm Springs, California.
