Hannah Garrison is Co-President of WEAR YOUR MUSIC and was a client of mine.
She used to advertise with Me (AZU-Jewelry) when I was an Account Executive for a Magazine here in Rhode Island.
She is an impeccable Jewelry Designer with roots here in Rhode Island. I have a couple of her bracelets. They've done well and the Fans love them! Each bracelet depending on the Artist is priced accordingly.

Her story is here below:


"Wear Your Music®is a company whose philosophy centers round our love for music and our desire to contribute to more than our own pocketbooks. We make Rock’n’Roll jewelry that ROCKS!
Hannah Garrison began crafting bracelets made from used guitar strings for musician friends and their families. Steve Bernstein was trying to find a unique way for guitar strings to garner advertising attention. He posted an ad on Craigslist that read: “Do you have any ideas for interesting products made with guitar strings?" Hannah contacted Steve and the Artist Bracelets were born.
The idea, embraced by numerous media outlets including In Style, and People Magazines, Treehugger.com, allaccess.com, and VH1.com, has grown to include participation by over 150 artists such as The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, guitar legend Les Paul and heartthrob John Mayer. The overwhelming response inspired WYM to begin offering a line of lower priced bracelets as well as charms, necklaces and an expanding Rock’n’Roll jewelry line.
"Wear Your Music® has become a brand that represents the intersection of music, fashion, and philanthropy," says Hannah. Adds Steve, "In growing our business, we won't lose sight of our original goals: not only to do well, but to do good.""

It wouldn’t be an official Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet Mardi Gras celebration without Lafayette, Lousiana’s Grammy nominated Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys who rock the crowd with their pumping hybrid of Cajun, zydeco and swamp pop. The dance floor is always filled when Steve and company are on stage. The band will be armed with new songs as they celebrate the release of their new CD, Grand Isle
(release date: Feb 22nd).
It’ll be a one-two punch with the jazz and funk infused zydeco of CJ Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band. CJ has been described as “attacking the accordion with the tension and drive of James Brown” and has played on albums by Paul Simon & the Gin Blossoms among others. CJ and the band have appeared on the Jon Stewart show, CNN and VH-1.
With an encyclopedic repertoire of genres including zydeco, Cajun, R&B, and blues, Leroy Thomas & the Zydeco Roadrunners promise to deliver the Louisiana tradition of foot stompin’ party music. Accompanying the costume parade of contestants and contributing to the overall party atmosphere will be the Hot Tamale Brass Band. It’s the Mardi Gras celebration that heats up the New England winter.
