Matthew Miele created and developed the idea for Lit Riffs
in order to reinvent the musical experience through literature.
While a literary agent with John Hawkins & Associates, Inc., he
handpicked the hippest and most celebrated storytellers of our time
to imaginatively compose stories inspired by songs.
Prior to his publishing career, Miele wrote and directed the
feature film Everything's Jake -- due for release in fall 2004,
starring Ernie Hudson, Graeme Malcolm, Debbie Allen, Robin Givens,
and Lou Rawls -- and was a sound designer/music composer for film
and television.
Miele recently founded and is current host of the Manhattan Concert
Club (MCC), a subscription-based, ten-concert series presenting
intimate, acoustic performances by the world's most renowned
recording artists in a wide variety of Manhattan's most unique and
treasured settings. Miele hopes that every MCC Concert will reflect
to true music enthusiasts what the inception of the "Lit Riff" and
this groundbreaking collection ultimately will reflect as well -- a
renewed celebration of and appreciation for great music.
Neil Strauss is an award-winning Rolling Stone editor, New York
