This week has been crazy fun. Colin Elmore (lead singer from the late great band, Berch) came down from Springfield, MO once more this time with the Franz family and we recorded and mixed 9 tracks in 3 days! The second greatest thing about this is that we did the whole project at world famous Ardent Studios in their newly remolded Studio C (see pic) all onto tape. No computers or digital equipment were used during this process. It was a really fun learning experience. I feel like this is how music is supposed to be made. The album, "This Side of the Sun" will be released next weekend!

Hey people, I'm very excited about my good friend Ian McClellan's new project that I had the honor of producing, recording, mixing and mastering. Hope you all get a chance to check it out and support him! Here is a link to stream the project http://vimeo.com/29382185 and here is a link to help him raise money with Kickstarter to support it. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ianmcclellan/worship-more

Hey everyone, I've very excited that my friend Steve Sulikowski co-wrote the title track to Selena Gomez's new album "When the Sun Goes Down". It's at #4 on the U.S. Billboard top 200 right now. Steve sent me Selena's demo to mix a few months back and Selana and her record label loved it. Check it out if you like.

Hey Folks, This is the project I recorded in Central America back in 2006. All the proceeds go to help the missionaries down there.

Make sure to check out http://themosbybrand.com/ to stream Maurice Mosby's new single! This Memphis worship leader has a heart to see God's Kingdom come on earth! I guess it's an acoustic/pop/gospelish song that I recorded, mixed and mastered. You can buy it on www.cdbaby.com . Let me know what you all think.

I'm very proud of several projects I had the honor of working on this past year. If you haven't yet, please check them out. I hope you enjoy the new music!

The biggest project was probably producing, engineering, mixing and mastering a Springfield, MO based college, pop, rock band, Berch's, debut full length CD "Before and After the Fall" www.berchofficial.com

I loved working with some old high school buddies from Baltimore, MD, The Meckatones producing, recording, mixing and mastering their "Memphis"www.myspace.com/themeckatones

This past summer I was privileged to co-produce, record and mix a 5 song rocking Worship EP for The Life Church of Memphis. www.myspace.com/thelifechurchworship

Over the course of the year I was also producing, co-recording, mixing and mastering Memphis songwriter, Caleb Sigler's "Straight on 'til Morning" EP. The proceeds from this project go to support Hope Chest and is to be released Early 2011. http://www.myspace.com/wcalebsigler

I also had 2 of my "demo" mixes featured on MTV's hit show "The Hills"

I am extremely thankful for everyone who has given me the opportunity to do what I love. I've been blessed to work with people who are much better musicians then me who help me learn what to listen for. Thanks also to the musicians who put me to work and put up with my quirks. I couldn't do it with out you! I'm looking forward to another great year!
