We have one mission at the Echo: Build our music scene. The Quad Cities’ music scene is vast and at any given moment there is an artist or a promoter working to bring an essential art form to the public. We are in awe of how hard these contributors work to bring entertainment to our region, so we’re doing our best to bring it to you here. Every show, every artist, and all the people working to make it happen, all in one place.

I learned in college that I was always going to travel the road less traveled, so-to-speak. While I have worked in a number of roles in several industries over the years I have been writing, collaborating, and creating strategic and creative content since my teen years and I have yet to find a more exciting and personally fulfilling use of my time.

Lauren is a fantastically creative writer and ridiculously bold in her attempts to secure content for BTTV. She will Facebook anyone, Tweet at whomever and pour out stories left and right. Fame and fortune do not dissuade her from landing an interview. Her tenacity is unmatched. She is loyal and committed to the cause and is an effective critic of her own work. She is social savvy, timely and completely in tune with the "secrete sauce" of create great content. You will miss out if you do not hire her.
During her two summers as the UI Upward Bound Project's technology monitor, Lauren did an outstanding job being both professional and yet welcoming to our students as she supervised and assisted them in our computer lab. Whether answering homework questions, signing computers in and out or troubleshooting hardware or software issues, Lauren kept the lab running smoothly and worked effectively with the rest of our staff.
Lauren is a very talented musician, and very professional to work with. I featured her on my site, The Independent Music Scene, and she was a pleasure to communicate with. I would recommend Lauren in all aspects of her career.
