The mission is about the LOVE of Music & supporting friends in this Factory.

First and foremost, may I share how happy I am for the results of the presidential campaign which have shown us all how we can move forward to greater moments for our society. This was a call forĀ  much-needed CHANGE and the masses have spoken. We still have alot of work to do to make this world a better place for EVERYONE.

Sista Factory was proud to take part in the celebration honoring the 10th year anniversary of joe’s pub in NYC. This was a fun event for me. I love Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater which continues to be recognized as a remarkable and intimate space for live music. I loved having the chance to be back in the venue. Shout out to my peers, colleagues and friends who continue to support the NYC independent music scene,

Anita Bryant, Toni Cheeseman, Brown Bag Productions, Tom Paul and Director of Joe’s Pub, Shanta Thake. Also big hug to Bill Bragin, former Director of Joe’s pub for being my guide to a great roster of music world-wide. Looking forward to the next 10 and more.

I am especially proud of the line-up this season at Proctors in upstate NY which features legendary artists and introduces amazing voices to the venue. The Dangerous Music Series will kick off Friday, Nov 21 at 7pm exploring experimental genres of music through cutting edge live performances, artist workshops, and music education for all ages. Cellist, composer and facilitator of inspirational workshops, The Ha!man kicks off the series bringing an energy of direct creativity, playful in its crossing of boundaries between mediums of expression.

Legendary performing artist Nona Hendryx graces our stage at the GE Theater for Dangerous Music on Friday, April 3, 2009 with her latest project AUDIO TUTU presented in funky Nona Hendryx style.

Dangerous Music is funded by New York State Music Fund, for more information visit dangerousmusic.org.

If you make your way upstate NY check out the media and performing arts center EMPAC at Rensselaer, I attended the grand opening celebration of this new building. EMPAC is an outstanding mecca for audiences who love multimedia, dance, science and art. Other highlights for me were: dumb type: Voyage
The Wooster Group’s audience member controlled film and the 3D dance projection. This is a must see performing arts space!

Continue to work together to assess and analyze the indie music scene, your support in promoting the performing arts is so important. Music heals and there is so much work to be done to create platforms for so many talented performing artists to present their music.

Love and Light,
