Congrats to the City Lines on their selection as staff pick by A2 Pulp! This album sounds great on vinyl too!

THIS JUST IN: our new album, Prescribed Fires, has been named a 2025 Staff Pick at A2 Pulp! To be here again, and amongst such brilliant releases, is supremely encouraging and we're absolutely taking this morale boost into the new year. Thanks to Lori Barnard Stratton of The Stratton Setlist for spilling ink on our behalf 🥳 pulp.aadl.org/node/663993

In case anyone needs it, I had a last minute cancellation due to illness this Wednesday the 3rd. Discounted time available if you can make use of that slot.

I was very happy to be able to work as tracking and mastering engineer on this album. I don’t know the details, but it was to also be available on vinyl LP. The original songs are excellent - nostalgic and touching. Put this on on your holiday rotation. You’ll be happy you did!

Well, family, my dream Christmas album is finally out. 🙂 A labor of love for the last year, “Waiting For Santa” is my proudest accomplishment yet. Half original material, and the other half my favorite unsung heroes of the holiday music library, I hope this album makes you feel all of the warm and fuzzies it does for me!!

I could NOT have done it without my musical family. ❤️

Still one of the sexiest microphones ever. She’s got it going on at 80!

I was delighted to master this record. Remember attending shows and buying on Bandcamp are the only ways artists actually get any money from their releases. Thanks for supporting live original music. This is the creative edge of jazz and modern electronic art music.

So thrilled to have 2 clients on this list from the excellent Sonic Coast ap/broadcast. J. Michael & the Heavy Burden and Steve Gulian are both projects produced here. Thanks to Sonic Coast, and to all my artists trusting me with their creations.

As the summer gig season slows down, it's a great time to start a new single, EP or album project. This is among the best times of year to book dates.

This year, we've had significant upgrades in signal processing and the mic arsenal will compete with the biggest stdios in the world. PM with questions, or to start a conversation about producing your music!
