Kicking off our October on the right "note"

While we've been knee-deep in voiceover recording and commercial production (see Tuesday's entry, below), we've also had the pleasure of working with some extremely talented musicians and artists over the last few weeks.

Local musician/songwriter Hattie Wilcox has just completed mixing and mastering her new album with our Chief Engineer Bill Ahearn, and we can't wait to hear the full project.  The mixes sound great; cool, catchy and complex all at once.  We also had the pleasure of recording guitar guru Jeff Pevar recently on a couple of tracks for Hattie's next album project.  As usual, Jeff sounded fantastic, and it's always exciting when he swings by the studio.

 This past Saturday afternoon, our friend Grayson Hugh stopped by the studio to record his inspirational arrangement of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," a classic Hank Williams standard.  After laying down the piano track in only two takes, Grayson and his wife, Polly Messer, recorded vocals that included some very moving, beautiful harmonies. 

Last (but definitely not least): we would like to congratulate Thomasina Levy and Joanie Spear for receiving the Native American Music Award (or "NAMMY," as it is commonly called) for Best Single/Song of the Year at the awards ceremony in Niagara Falls, NY last week.  We are proud of our studio's contribution to the completion of their song, "Out of Many, We Are One."

Well... it looks like we're finally caught up - for now.  Stand by, because we're looking forward to an even more eventful and productive fall!!
