Tonight I got to support yet another arts-based organization. I attended the Rolling Stone August Cover Reveal benefiting Music Unites. Music Unites is a non profit that brings music education to underfunded schools, teaching people the diversity and connective power of music and empowering future artists by providing performance opportunities. Tonight was all about The Sheepdogs, the winners of the "So You Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star" contest. The contest began at the start of the year and featured 16 undiscovered bands for the chance to battle it out for the chance to be on the cover. As winners, The Sheepdogs graced the cover of Rolling Stone for the August issue, the first band to do so without being represented by a major record label. Tonight's party was the reveal of the new cover and a celebration of the band's new presence in the industry. Check out their music, you'll figure out why they won the vote.
The rooftop of the Empire Hotel was packed. At one point I rode the elevator with Larry David (I totally froze up, I have such respect for that man.) Celebrities rolled in to show their support, and The Sheepdogs were treated like the rockstars they are the entire night.
Congratulations to The Sheepdogs for their win, and thank you to Rolling Stone and Garnier Fructis for hosting such a killer party in support of Music Unites!
