Today, Jock Weaver, former president & visionary force of the international phenomenon Hard Rock Café, announces a partnership with music tech guru/entrepreneur Zach Bair in ROCKHOUSE LIVE INTERNATIONAL™, an exciting new hybrid Live & Virtual entertainment-themed restaurant and venue operation.
Bair originally conceived RockHouse Live in 2006, after selling majority interest of the company he founded, Immediatek, to Mark Cuban of “Shark Tank” fame. Bair is known as the pioneer of “instant live recording”, and has worked with/produced major artists over the last 17 years (Slash, Frampton, Devo, Blondie) all around the world, and most recently international superstar Rob Thomas.
Partner Jock Weaver is armed with the hands-on experience of expanding the iconic Hard Rock Café, which grew under Weaver’s leadership from one $750k location to a multi-unit $200 million enterprise. Weaver teamed up with Bair after he fell in love with the prototype for Blair’s new venture in Memphis, Tenn.
In spite of the global Pandemic, Weaver sees an entertainment Renaissance about to explode across the globe, with consumers of all ages starving for live music in a social setting filled with elevated American pub food plus proprietary music technology.
In a strong nod to the Pandemic, ROCKHOUSE LIVE INTERNATIONAL™ is also designed to offer live VIRTUAL concerts along with plenty of take-out food to boot. Using technology developed and operated by the company of which Bair is CEO, VNUE, Inc. (OTC: VNUE), fans can have concert audio within minutes of the end of a show, delivered directly to their mobile devices via the set.fm website (www.set.fm) or the set.fm mobile application.
The opportunities to grow another epic hundred million dollar plus entity, as Weaver explains, is clear.
“ROCKHOUSE LIVE represents the next exciting development in experiential live music entertainment themed restaurants and venues,” said Weaver. “With the focus on nightly entertainment, combined with state-of-the-art streaming and content development and aggregation capabilities, including “instant content” capabilities by set.fm, great reasonably priced food, and amazing service, RockHouse Live will differentiate itself from competitors, and will be a true destination for locals and tourists alike.”
The disruptive new hybrid model for ROCKHOUSE LIVE includes:
- Markets that are high traffic tourist destinations, entertainment zones, and waterfront/beachfront locations. Given the current state of the market, there is an unprecedented opportunity to introduce new and exciting experiential live music entertainment themed restaurants to these spaces.
- A combination of nightly entertainment, including local, regional and national artists, state of the art streaming and content development/delivery capabilities, great reasonably priced food and amazing service, for locals and tourists alike.
- Live concerts broadcast from their own location PLUS other RockHouse locations. Fans will also be able to download the content instantly using VNUE’s set.fmtechnology. Set.fm allows fans to have concert audio within minutes of the end of a show, delivered directly to their mobile devices and the www.set.fm website.
“Jock and I, better than anyone, know how to utilize music, entertainment and food service to build an iconic brand, and to keep it contemporary and relevant for fans and customers that will go to RockHouse Live to Eat, Drink and ROCK!™”, noted Bair.
