Jackpot for SMI!

SMI Scores Big at Tulalip Resort Casino

SMI had a very successful event at Tulalip Resort Casino last Wednesday. It started early afternoon with sold out Private Band Consultations with Beau Hill, co-founder of Interscope Records, and six SMI bands. Then, Izzy Gleason and Aaron Balsley of Riverbend performed an acoustic set to a gathering of local Seattle musicians, hotel guests, and Beau Hill in the mPulse lounge. Beau then spoke to a sold out crowd at SMI’s first Industry Seminar, "Beau Hill Knows Music", which was informative to all who attended. After a successful day, the night ended on the highest possible note as Underride and Superfekta performed to a standing room only crowd in Canoes Cabaret, where there was a line waiting to get in because the room had reached its capacity. Underride started the performance and rocked the house with songs off there newest release “Distorted Nation”, now available online at Showcase Music Industries' store located at www.showcasemi.com. Superfekta followed with an outstanding performance of their own, playing their staple hits "Almost" and "Decade Past" to the capacity crowd, which included approximately 200 loyal friends and family. Joining Superfekta on stage were special guests, Wes, guitarist for Nether, and Spencer, front man for Astrovan, for a couple of cover songs that were very popular to the capacity crowd. The Tulalip Manager said "the night was a huge success”.

It was a defining day for SMI and we would like to give special thanks to Beau Hill for taking time out of his busy schedule to come to Seattle. SMI would also like to thank Underride & Superfekta for stellar performances, Izzy and Aaron for playing a great acoustic set in the mPulse Lounge, and to all the bands and musicians who attended the private consults and seminar. Finally, a very special thank you to Tulalip Resort Casino for providing a world-class venue for our Industry Day. We are extremely proud of everyone involved and we look forward to the brightest of futures for our SMI family.

Sincerely,
John, Lisa, Jessica, and the SMI Team!
