Nice and Rough VI: Interview with Sheila Jackson Hardy on multi-media project

Receiving strong positive response to her "Nice and Rough" cultural insights on the history, present and future of rock n’ roll, Sheila Jackson Hardy continues forward discussing Los Angeles rock in relationship to New York rock music. She also expresses gratitude to a special individual and to a Music Group of Angels in this city of angels:

W.E. How does the Los Angeles rock scene compare to other areas in terms of recognizing the unknown?

S.H. NY has an underground rock scene. I am not an expert on the rock scene in LA - yet. I am fortunate to have Stefaniah McGowan and Stef Angel Music Group as my music supervisor and part of my exec team. She has a wealth of experience and insight into the music industry. So, I am in the process of discovering all of that now, as I look at worldwide venues for the concert tour. But I promise I will have expert status by the time I am done. LOL! From what I have learned so far, the New York scene is far richer than LA. There is a definitive underground rock scene that African-American rockers and their fans actively plug into.
