Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 24, 2004 -- The Source Magazine has joined forces with Sean Healy Presents of Hollywood, California to present the column based Unsigned Hype Showcase Series. The showcase will be presented on each first Monday of the Month beginning October 4th, 2004. Participants will compete for coverage in the Unsigned Hype and Ear to the Streets columns in The Source, as well as an opportunity to have their music reviewed for the Ear to the Streets compilation CD to be released in 2005. The Source Magazine is the Urban Market’s premier media outlet for established and breaking artists as well as the Hip Hop political movement and celebrated their 150th issue with a collector’s edition covering the Greatest MC, Albums and Moments.

Under the direction of The Source’s newly promoted Director of Regional Markets and Events, James “Hawk” Hawkins, the Unsigned Hype (California) and Ear to the Streets showcases (Midwest and Southern Regions) seek to give recognition to independents who have national act qualities and performance abilities. It’s not just the beat but about the overall artist package, is the message for these events. Those artists who have a strong local buzz and audience of course will have the best chance at selection, but projects seen to be on the cusp, i.e. just needing a little push, will also be seriously considered.

Sean Healy Presents is quickly becoming the crew to call when you want your event done professionally and with integrity. The Source Magazine joins the ranks of other top echelon media outlets that have commissioned SHP to handle their events such as Rollingstone, Billboard, The Los Angeles Times, etc. As well, SHP has become recognized by labels like Universal/Motown as a top official tour stop promoter for their artists like Nina Sky (#1 Billboard), Murphy Lee f/Nelly…other national acts like Slick Rick, E-40, Nocturnal, George Clinton, Too Short, Sly Boogie and more, regularly make SHP venues their headquarters when in the Los Angeles Area. SHP promotes/produces more than 30 live shows per month, giving local artists of all genres an opportunity to shine on their own, as well as opening slots for national acts. Regular venues for SHP include the world famous Key Club, Johnny Depp’s Viper Room, House of Blues (Sunset Strip), Hard Rock Café and the El Rey Theatre in the Los Angeles area, with additional venues in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle and San Diego.
