2017: The Year Of Sire
The Sire 50th celebration kicks off on Monday, February 6, when the Recording Academy hosts a special Grammy Week event with Seymour Stein at the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live. The intimate evening will feature a discussion with Stein and special guests Billy Duffy of The Cult, director/producer Brett Ratner and Martin Mills, Chairman of the Beggars Group, moderated by Scott Goldman, VP of the Grammy Foundation and MusiCares.
And there’s more — a new Sire Records website launches this Friday, February 3, along with a Sire 50 playlist campaign across multiple streaming services, along with a special limited-edition vinyl box-set release. Also, Stein’s long-awaited autobiography, written by Stein and author Gareth Murphy will be published later this year, and a documentary film about Stein and Sire Records is being planned by Stein’s daughter, Mandy.
