Vanessa Carlton Salon- Culture Catch Event

Bennett Media Studio was the stage for a private Vanessa Carlton concert. It was also a podcast presented in 5.1 surround sound!

JAWBONE presented the CULTURE CATCH MUSIC SALON with MS. VANESSA CARLTON -- an evening of champagne, food, music and smart conversation.

This extraordinary night of music and talk affords a select group of invited VIPs an unprecedented opportunity to discuss in an informal and casual setting the impact of music and the cultural significance it may or may not have on our society. We're looking for the integrity of the musician and their symbiotic relationship with our culture.

Check out the evening by clicking the video below. You can also visit Culture Catch and their article on Ms. Carlton.
