Vegas Live Sessions
Vegas Live Sessions
Founder & Creator (2015): Conceptualized and executed a live music event series that started in a living room and grew into a downtown Las Vegas phenomenon.
Intimate Acoustic Performances: Developed a unique format featuring stripped-down, acoustic sets that challenged artists to reevaluate their music and showcase their musicianship.
Community Building: Fostered a strong, tight-knit community of local musicians, industry professionals, and music enthusiasts through live events, open mics, and artist interviews.
Open Air Sessions → Jam Session LV: Created an outdoor stage with curated shows, spontaneous jams, and food vendors, drawing hundreds of people to Airstream Park in Fremont East. What began as Open Air Sessions evolved into Jam Session LV, a weekly outdoor gathering that continues to thrive today, serving as a cornerstone for live music and community connection in Las Vegas.
VLS Awards: Conceptualized, organized, and executed the first-ever VLS Awards—a playful and spirited awards show designed purely to honor and appreciate the hardworking bands and musicians of the local music scene. We invited every band that had performed at our sessions, collaborated with the venue to craft a signature cocktail (with proceeds going to a raffle for an artist or band), secured liquor sponsorships, and brought in press coverage from Las Vegas Weekly, News 8, and Vegas Seven. It was a celebration of community, creativity, and the raw talent that drives local music.
Impact: Launched several acts, programmed local artist stages for Life is Beautiful Festival (2016–2017), and established Vegas Live Sessions as a hub for local music discovery.
Key Achievements
Venue Partnerships: Partnered with Indie Flare Studios and Artifice to host intimate live events, and Airstream Park for outdoor Open Air Sessions.
Artist Development: Provided a platform for local artists to showcase their talents, with some going on to play notable festivals like Life is Beautiful.
Marketing & Promotion: Successfully promoted events without a budget, relying on word of mouth, live streaming, and quality content to build a loyal following.
Impact & Legacy
Vegas Live Sessions demonstrated the power of community-driven events in shaping the local music scene. By prioritizing artist support, intimacy, and creativity, we created a beloved series that continues to inspire and uplift audiences. The addition of the VLS Awards was a testament to our commitment to celebrating the hardworking talent that defines the Las Vegas music community.
Jam Session LV, born from our Open Air Sessions, lives on as a lasting legacy—a vibrant weekly event that keeps the spirit of live, unfiltered music alive in the heart of downtown Las Vegas.
