Social Impact Live with Erin Austin + Reuben's Brews + Mother Africa

Throughout her career, the New York-born, Oklahoma-schooled

singer-songwriter, Erin Austin, has rarely stayed still - putting

down professional roots in San Francisco, Los Angeles and

Denton, Texas, all the while working under—and living up to—

her artistic moniker, OK Sweetheart. After releasing her first

album, Home, in 2011, she settled in Seattle and tapped into the

fertile music community of the Pacific Northwest, writing,

recording and performing.

Beer partner, Reuben's Brews, is a small, family-owned brewery

located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA. Since

moving from the UK in 2004, co-founder and brewmaster Adam

was blown away by the diversity and quality of the brews in the

Pacific Northwest. The brewing bug took over and Adam

continued to hone his craft and won several more awards,

including a Silver Medal at the 2012 National Homebrew

Competition.This all led to the desire to share his brews with

more people and the opening of Reuben's Brews in August

2012.
