Million Dollar Quartet at the Apollo Theater Brings Alive an Infamous Night in the History of Rock n Roll! December 22, 2011 On December 4, 1956, the world brought together four legends – Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins & Johnny Lee Lewis - in a small storefront studio called Sun Records in Memphis. For this one night, the quartet reminisced and recorded an impromptu music session with the one who discovered them all, Sam Philips – the “Father of Rock-n-Roll” and owner of Sun Records.
Chicago Bird Collision Monitors come to Save Bird in Billy Dec office at Rockit Ranch Productions! July 29, 2011 It was another crazy day in Billy’s office going through to-do lists, running to meetings, and writing emails when he noticed little creature staring at us... we thought it would fly away, but a few hours later, the little bird was still there. Fearing that it was hurt, Billy turned to his facebook & twitter friends for some advice.
Behind the Scenes with Billy Dec – 5 Radio Shows, a Live TV Show on ABC & a PSA all in 5 hours! June 27, 2011 I woke up at 5am this morning for a BIG press day with Billy. We had to do 5 radio shows, a live tv show & a PSA all in 5 hours when he literally just stepped off a plane from France, Hungary, and Austria 12 hours prior. When he initially told me about how much press he wanted to do BEFORE he was live on Windy City Live- I thought it was absurd, but in all the time I have known him, I can say he pushes himself to work beyond what most people think is feasible. The main purpose behind all this press was to talk about two events that are the very important to him to support art & theatre in Chicago & raise scholarships for kids - The Madhatter's Ball & The Piven Theatre Gala.

Interview with Natalie Slater of Bake & Destroy! March 22, 2011 Hi all! This is Amy Shah from Billy's office posting this story while he is gone traveling in Asia (check out his awesome pics documenting his travels on facebook & twitter!). I thought it would be cool to share this story about Natalie Slater of Bake & Destroy. I met Natalie a few months back when Rockit Wrigley hosted a Rocker Tweetup with experts in social media and what it takes to incorporate rock & roll in your business.
