Sweet Blues Northwest has produced video for over 40 bands in the Seattle,
Tacoma area since 2008.  Due to the cost of producing and streaming music
videos, in fairness, the *public* area of our website will be reserved for those
bands who have paid for our production and streaming services. 

This "Member's Area" is being established to continue to share the video of
all the bands we've met, but through a paid subscription process.

What we also hope to accomplish is a process through which we can continue to
shoot & share music videos for struggling artists, where some of those shoots
may be funded and supported by our own subscribers.  Our video shoots are
becoming increasingly complex,, with multiple cameras, lights, and multi-
tracked audio recording.  The time & impetus to spend the time and resources
on such projects,  *for free*,  sadly,, has passed.  

Many good bands don't always have the funds to pay for quality audio & video. 
A strong subscriber base here at Sweet Blues just may bridge the gap for the
next up and coming band or artist.  Great video can make a big difference in
promotions, and for our local Blues scene overall.

What will be established here is a complete archive of video for viewing, and
and a forum area where our subscribers can get to know one another and
talk music, and even discuss what worthy bands should be captured for the
archives.

I apologize to anyone who feels inconvenienced by these changes,  and who's
videos have been moved into our archives.  We will consider a fee structure
where those videos can be returned to the public area, and also be embedded
on your own sites again.

Video Vault Membership will be $15.00 per year.  All proceeds will be placed in
a kitty established specifically for future shoots of artists we are considering.
Once paid, login and password info will be sent to the subscriber's address.
