Listen To This Music
by Michael HoffmanTuesday, February 20th, 2007
The singer/songwriter Alice Peacock is in my office right now meeting with some of our team about the nonprofit she founded, Rock for Reading. Did you know that 1 in 3 people in Chicago are functionally illiterate? And it’s getting worse, not better. (There was that UNICEF report this week that placed the US and UK at the bottom of the list of developed countries for children. When you think about a statistic like this one about reading it is not so hard to imagine.)
Last year we produced a video for Rock for Reading and we did some additional shooting and are talking today about how we plan to repurpose the material into some new products.
If the music business had much to do with talent, Alice would be a huge rock star. If you haven’t heard her music look out below. Better yet, just go ahead and buy her album right now.
