Ode to Seattle

Before I left Seattle I made this video for Latitude x Longitude.

Consider it a love letter to a city and sister I miss.

Live'n the Rock & Roll lifestyle

Never thought I would be living the Rock & Roll lifestyle.

Nae-nae & Harri-bou living the transit lifestyle

Never went to a big stadium concert.

Didn't follow popular bands.

Couldn't pick a Rolling Stones song out of a line up.

Ok, not that I really had anything against it.
I just didn't have anything in common with it.

Rock & Roll was a noise I was vaguely aware of,
like a distant memory you can't quite put your finger on. 

So, when Rock & Roll knocked at our door - I was leery of the unknown.
 Especially as The Rebeqa become more and more involved in the scene.

Kristin Ward, Gary Westlake, Paul Passereli, Mike McCready, Rebeqa & Andrew McKeag

Like a wary chaperon, I watched.

Watched her laugh, learn and be inspired
by their hard work and dedication.

Watched them help those who can't help themselves.

Watched them love their children and their wives.

Watched them uplift and inspire their fans.

Watched them care for their community.

Watched them protect each other.

Mike McCready, Paul Passereli & Rebeqa Rivers

 Thanks so their kindness, I've been to a big giant stadium concert

Pearl Jam @ Key Arena

and our family has been welcomed "backstage".

Harry Rock'n his LxL t-shirt

and we got to present emerging Seattle artists in Miami & Monaco

La Familia Artists @ Arte Monaco

La Familia Artists @ Aqua Art Miami

and we learned about bands we'd never heard of

Delivering vocal training CD's to my sister.

But to be honest, I'm not really into hanging with Rockstars 

for the music or the backstage passes.

Nope, I'm just here for the Rock & Roll lifestyle of...

 

hard work
lifelong friends
and the love of family.

The Rockstar Sister

Name: Rebeqa  
Birthplace: Talkeetna, AK
Profession: Musician / Song Writer / Teacher
Star Sign: Gemini


The driven, beautiful and talented Rebeqa is the leader of the hot indie Seattle rock band Latitude x Longitude. 


With her album set to release, Rebeqa is forced to not only deal with the drama of Rock & Roll life but also find it in herself to be the glue that holds the family together when Nae-nae falls down.


Will Rebeqa be able to launch her band, keep Harri-bou from loosing his mind, keep Nae-nae on the straight and narrow while also finding time for herself?
