‘Seattle Live’ at The Hard Rock Cafe off to a great start

By Greg Roth on August 13, 2010@WeRideWhy

I had a great time attending and covering the “Seattle Live” mixer tonight (8/11), sponsored by GOmixers & STRIVEMC. It is great to see artists and music biz folks putting together events that bring artists, music biz folks and fans together to network and mingle.

At SMI, we are all about building community here in the Northwest and music is one of the best conduits that we can think of. In my opinion, The Northwest, from Bellingham down to Portland has some of the best talent and musical artistry anywhere in the world. Events like this help solidify what has become a very fragmented scene.

SMI Radio talks with singer / songwriter / actress, Jennifer Newberry and her manager, Jose Luis. They talk about the “Seattle Live” event coming up tonight and future evens at The Hard Rock Cafe.

Not only is he a multi-media journalist, he is also an accomplished musician. He is the founder of SMI and drives the creative look, feel and branding for the publication. His years of writing, arranging, and performing live music in a variety of genres inform his ability to communicate the message and the mechanics of music. Roth’s work on SMI reflects his philosophy that music is the universal language, and builds community. He believes it has the power to unite people of every race, religion, gender, and persuasion.
