A Pre-release exclusive for Thriving Ivory

A Pre-release exclusive for Thriving Ivory:


I just came back from the most amazing concert and it was right here in our own backyard. That’s right, I saw Thriving Ivory in Petaluma at McNear’s Mystic Theater. The performance was amazing! I saw Drew (from T.I.) as I carried in a box full of MIX IT UP, hot off the press, for the select few that would be attending the concert. After unloading the 100 copies I brought, Drew got his first look at the magazine. He was very happy with the look, the photos, and the story.

As people poured into the theater I started handing out copies of MIX IT UP, just in case they didn’t get them back at the booth. Sitting back at my table with Jessica we noticed people flipping through the magazine and reading it. Jessica, being the “proud momma” (FYI-she’s a friend, not my mom) pointed out how people were enjoying it. At this point I felt a sense of accomplishment. It is really something to see your hard work, along with others, printed and in the hands of complete strangers. Looking around the theater flashes of yellow MIX IT UP from the back cover caught my eye.

The show opened with American Drag followed by Thriving Ivory. Thriving Ivory entered a black stage which soon shot beams of white light out to the audience, lighting up the stage as they started to sing. Fans screamed as Clayton’s voice mesmerized the crowd while Scott, Drew, Bret, and Paul took listeners beyond the average sound of piano, keys, guitar, bass, and drums. Thriving Ivory is among the few, that sound great live.

Thriving Ivory is not only a great band, performing songs that will take your breath away, but they are also your average guys, doing what they love.

Enter the world of Thriving Ivory…


To Clayton, Drew, Scott, Bret, and Paul, thank you for everything.
