Dear Friends, We started to put a little musical pep into your Mondays in September 2011 but we have never formally introduced DJ Matt Cornwall - we are really lacking in manners! Very late but better than never: please meet DJ Matt Cornwall! We love him because he is like a walking Wikipedia of Music and he has a wonderful knack for the mood and the moment, getting it just right. While he works with us a lot, he also has some other small companies amongst his clients, like Apple, the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Toyota, Starwood Hotels and the list goes on.

Dear Friends, Matt predicted the phenomenal success of Daft Punk's return so listen up! He just unearthed a new "Artist to Know": Robert DeLong. "I would not be where I am today as a DJ were it not for the phenomenal world-renowned hand picked musical programming on Los Angeles based public radio station KCRW. Jason Kramer is one of those music selector/dj's whom I met many years ago whilst calling the station one night screaming their praises and we have been great friends ever since. Jason is also a music supervisor at Elias Arts in Los Angeles and has a weekly music showcase for up and coming talent. The electronic one-man band Robert Delong - hailing from the suburbs of Seattle - stopped by The Elias Arts studios for an intimate recording and conversation with Jason. With a background in drums, DeLong’s music culls from indie rock, house, electronica, EDM and moombahton. He was recently tapped as the ‘2013 Artist to Watch’ by MTV, Billboard and VIBE. ...

Dear Friends, We are happy to share Page 9 of the May issue of Special Events: EventWorks Creates a Big Show for Amway China Thank you. Lisa Hurley, for covering the story of our event! We could not have done it without the help of many collaborators, especially Todd Roberts/Visions Lighting, Greg Russell/Tandem Digital, Doug Johnson/E-Plus Productions and Rick Jobson/Technical Show Management.

Mahalo for viewing and Aloha! Janet

Dear Friends, "What I'm gonna do to you - I betcha like it" - Troy "Shorty Trombone" Andrews will get you going this morning!  DJ Matt caught the bug in New Orleans where our team just let the good times roll in the French Quarter. "Eventworks and I just wrapped up a great week in my favorite of all music meccas, New Orleans. As if that doesn't get any better for yours truly, I was also the opening act for "Nola's" new reigning King of jazz/funk/rock/hiphop… or simply, the "New Orleans Sound" as I like to call it ! Troy Andrews, aka "Shorty Trombone", began his musical career at the tender age of 6, playing trombone, and he hasn't stopped since, playing for the past 25 years with the Neville Brothers and performing as the featured member of Lenny Kravitz's horn section.  He has been touted as one of New Orleans' greatest music stars !
