Jillian is one part of a duo with partner Nathaniel Paul Hoff in a band called "The Bergamot."

State of the Unity was selected and screened at 36 prestigious film festivals worldwide and garnered 20 awards, including the Grand Jury and Best Documentary Feature awards at the Las Cruces International Film Festival in New Mexico (2023).

(http://www.advanceyourart.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Speece_Jillian-0005.jpg) Jillian Speece and her husband Nathaniel are from my hometown of South Bend, Indiana and have been making music together since they met in high school. When they first started playing music they would approach local restaurants and talk them into letting them play in a spare room with the promise of bringing in a lot of people who would come and buy food. They have come a long way from those days but the entrepreneurial spirit is still alive in everything they do. Jillian and I speak at length on how she and her husband started her band, how they run the business of their band, and crowdfund their big ideas. Jillian and I had the most South Bend conversation I have ever had outside of Indiana that didn’t involve Notre Dame Football. Enjoy. Meet Jillian: Jillian Speece is a singer-songwriter and activist in the Brooklyn-based band TheDistractedBeet.com (http://thedistractedbeet.com/) . Her catchphrase is Shine ON as the reminder to all that they are made of light and love.
