Trying to keep up with these amazing and talented artists and go-getters is tough, so I thought I’d help you guys out with some updates every once in a while.
Phoebe Hunt of the Belleville Outfit performed live as a group at the 8th Annual Americana Music Awards. They are the buzz of this genre, which fuses soul, jazz, blues and R&B. They were also included in the Wall Street Journal article, “Honest, Unfettered Americana” by Jim Fusilli. Read the article here.
Jake Hamilton and co. (more of which you will learn about tomorrow) just returned Sunday from Nashville, TN and the Doorpost Film Awards. Their movie Guest Room made a big impression and took home the “Filmmaker’s Choice” award and $15,000. What an honor to be chosen as the stand-out among your peers! Way to go guys!

Sally Pryor Taylor had a great first solo art show at the end of August. Sally sold 12 paintings that night and had a huge turnout! She still has some amazing pieces for sale on her website.
Found this great article that supports The Trophy Generation! The author finds the worth in our Generation and compares us to “the Greatest Generation”. She believes that we will achieve as much as they did!
Here’s a short excerpt:
“Despite their reputation for being pampered, a close look at the Generation Ys (a.k.a. Millennials) in your company may reveal more pragmatism than privilege. Recent surveys reveal that since 2006 Millennials have become more realistic about job expectations. In fact, Gen Ys have the lowest expectations of all four workforce generations when it comes to “soft” workplace benefits such as a pleasant work environment, liking the people they work with or having flexible hours. Here’s why.”
