How Kevin Bacon Saved Seattle: The Seattle Music Story You've Never Heard | James Keblas | TEDxUofW

Seattle is known for its bursting scene of music in the 1990s, but what you might not know is how the city leaders were initially in protest of the emerging grunge/rock scene. James Keblas sheds light on the conflict between Seattle and its culture behind all of the music, and how we can support local music in Seattle today. James Keblas is a celebrated economic development leader in the areas of arts and entertainment. He got his start in the music business in 1991 working in hip hop at NastyMix Records, pushing artists like Sir Mix-a-Lot. He was Director of Seattle’s Office of Film, Music and Special Events for nine years, where he earned the title “Punk Rocker in a Suit.” His favorite professional achievement will always be Co-Founding The Vera Project, a music and arts center in Seattle run by and for youth. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
