MIHE Year End Review

As always, at this time of the year, we like to take the time to thank all the artists, venues and organizations that helped us meet our goals during the year that was.

It was a year of some great successes which included another indie Soul, star-studded REVISITING Event, this one featuring the music of MARVIN GAYE! (Read a review of the event here.)

This year also gave us the opportunity to feature the work of our photographer, KATIE PIPER for her first ever show! THE SOUND SHE SAW, featured photographs from Miss Piper taken at MIHE events through the years. (Check out Katie's work here.)

We spawned 2 new events late this year that will be fleshed out in 2011. We have added yet another legendary venue to the list of places for emerging artist to play. In conjunction with SCOBAR Ent., MIHE has brought MIDNIGHT MUSIC at THE IRIDIUM to fruition. We also created a new networking event that brings artists and industry professionals together to share information called THE CONNECTION. Both events will resume on a monthly basis in February. Along with our weekly GROOVEOLOGY event at Sip and 2 new monthlies for new artists to shine! Stay tuned...

We cannot end this recap of 2010 without citing that this is the year that MIHE took on the role of management by signing the production team of NUCLEAR O'REILLY to our management branch. We hope that this is the first of many such signings as we continue to build the platforms that aid in the elevation of the independent artist. (Download Nuclear O'Reilly's remix project, MIXED SIGNALS here.)

Special thanks to: The entire RhythmAndSoulRadio.com staff! DJ TODD JONES and RAINE TORAE for allowing us to sponsor their successful events! JSUN, LOYAL THOMAS, SCOTT BARBARINO and the many others who have collaborated with us throughout the year! (Full list of artists, venues, organizations and DJs can be found here. Please excuse us if we omitted anyone. It was by accident, not design.)
