There was not a dry eye in the crowd as soon as Sarah McLachlan took a seat at her piano for a stirring rendition of “Angel” alongside Olivia Rodrigo.
The Gen Z pop star’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival took a moment to honor the pioneers who demonstrated what a woman could do in the music industry, without whom they wouldn’t be standing there today. And who better to pay tribute to than “matriarch, beautiful goddess of Country Music, the biggest philanthropist in the history of Country Music, Dolly Parton.”
McLachlan nodded powerfully to the late performer, whose legacy of good deeds through literacy for children and more has resonated in the wake of her passing, as she and Rodrigo dedicated McLachlan’s moving, timeless 1997 hit to the memory of Dolly Parton.

The first-ever Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival included performances by Chappell Roan, Garbage, Mitski, Doechii, Bikini Kill, Eli, Santigold, Quiet Light, Rachel Chinouriri, Die Spitz, The Breeders and Not For Radio. Rodrigo’s modern effort turned out to deliver $20 million to the non-profit organizations she named as the inaugural year’s recipients, thanks in part to a surprise pledge of 10 million dollars from Melinda French Gates.
