Making Noise for Everett’s Sake
OUR MISSION:
Building community through unforgettable musical experiences, artist advocacy and development, and amplifying Everett's identity as a destination.
Since 2012, Everett Music Initiative (EMI) has been a central force for music, community and the arts in Everett. Whether it’s through intimate shows at local venues, activating new spaces with unique events or the Fisherman’s Village Music Festival, EMI has been behind-the-scenes bringing much needed nightlife to the region. EMI’s mission is simple: Building community through unforgettable musical experiences, artist advocacy and development, and amplifying Everett's identity as a destination.
These last 12 years have been marked by some real success. EMI has produced or partnered on over 500 events that brought over 300,000 people to Everett, and that received media attention from The Seattle Times, Alaska Airlines Beyond Magazine, Evening Magazine, KEXP and more. In addition to supporting local artists and their development, EMI has hosted over a dozen national acts that have played late-night TV shows, had Grammy nominations or topped the Billboard Charts. All this has helped give Everett a fresh identity as a burgeoning arts hub where people would be proud to visit or live.
