SYETI ("see-ETTE-ee") CREATIVE is a philanthropy-focused digital content and live event production hub established by Nashville writer/editor/musician Dean Moore.
We've had a few false starts—it was going to be a venue that donated 10% of every admission ticket, drink, etc. to charity; then a "subscribe to your favorite band and get exclusive content" subscription service that donated 10% to each band's charity of choice. But these days we're simplifying, and broadening, and just sticking with "cause-minded content."
Our inaugural event, "A Night of Nilsson: Lay Down Your Arms," took place at the Basement East in East Nashville, TN, on Wednesday, September 14, 2016, to benefit the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.
Our followup event, "A Tribute to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and a Ton of Neil Young," took place at the Basement East on Sunday, November 5, 2017, to benefit Autism Speaks.
On Monday, March 2, 2020 (Super Tuesday Eve), we spent another night at the Basement East, this time to promote the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders and cautiously celebrate his frontrunner status at "BERNIEfest: Concert for the Revolution to Elect Bernie Sanders."
An hour after the show ended, the Basement East, along with many other homes and businesses in Nashville, was destroyed by an EF4 tornado; the next day, Bernie's frontrunner status was no more; and the next week...oh c'mon, a global pandemic, 2020?? Thanks fer nuthin'...
