On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, members of EARS gathered at Joyride Studio to honor and celebrate the life of our dear friend, Blaise Barton, who left us far too soon.

We came together in the very space where Blaise worked his magic—Joyride Studio. It was here he crafted incredible records, earned Grammy Awards, received numerous industry accolades, and made the world a better place simply by being who he was. Blaise was a true force—creative, driven, and deeply inspiring.

As a longtime and influential president of the Engineering and Recording Society of Chicago, Blaise continually raised the bar for excellence in our field. He reached for the stars—and more often than not, he caught them.

It was an honor to serve alongside him in his relentless pursuit of greatness, and an even greater honor to call him my friend.

Rock on, Blaise Barton. Rest in peace.

Tag yourselves, R__d

Chicago blues artist Dave Specter celebrated the release of his new record with a packed house at SPACE, filled with friends, fans, and members of the vibrant Chicago music community. Among the notable attendees was Julia A. Miller, president of EARS and Delmark Records, the label behind the release.

The evening began with a special discussion hosted by EARS, featuring legendary recording engineer Fred Breitberg, who shared his expertise and behind-the-scenes insights on how the outstanding live album was captured.

In addition to Dave, Julia, and Fred, many prominent figures from the Chicago music scene were in attendance, including Music direct's Rob Gillis, DJ Oliver Fade Torres, digital artist and music producer Maasai Amewa, DCASE Deputy Commissioner Sangini Brahmbhatt, and Kent Anderson, Founder and CEO of Csharp Consulting, among others.

A fantastic launch for a fantastic record—held in a great venue, SPACE, founded and owned by the artist himself, Dave Specter.
