On behalf of everyone at the newly formed Relix Media Group, LLCwe call it 3.0 around hereI want to express our appreciation to you, our readers, said Peter Shapiro, the new Publisher of Relix and Jambands.com. We live in difficult times and, as we have all heard, many are predicting the demise of magazines. Well, in many ways, Relix has always gone in a direction away from the mainstream and popular belief, forging its own path. Now is no different. Despite the dire warnings and predictions, we have faith in the power of our community: the fans, musicians, industry and most importantly… Relix!’
