Check out Tim Wi******er Music's record Into The Open
Friends:
Now that the dust has settled following the release of my new album 'Into The Open', I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere thanks and gratitude...
Thank you to my family and friends for your endless support and encouragement! This record is such a highlight for me on my musical journey and I'm truly grateful.
A resounding thanks to Jason Phelps for his many contributions in and out of the studio. Your guidance was invaluable!
I was incredibly fortunate to collaborate with such awe-inspiring musicians on this record (Ellie Begin, Jason Phelps, Pete Morse, Janice O'rourke)! Your personal touches elevated the music in ways I never imagined and I sincerely appreciate your involvement!
Lastly and most importantly, thank you to my Mom and Dad for without you, none of this would be possible! Peace & Love...

Check out Bad Combo's latest project!
Three new tracks coming your way on 12/18/2020!
Seeking shelter from the burning s**t-tornado that is 2020 we dug our heals in and clenched tightly to our alt-rock and pop-punk roots.
For this project we shrank down from 10 members to just four, given obvious circumstances. Our hearts go out to those missing the people's horn section and back-up singers. We miss them too, dearly. Some day, guys!!
What we were left with is the original trio: Jed Bresette, Myles Simcock and John Kennedy. Mark Dumond was brave enough to join us in the studio and grace us with his talents behind the keys.
A huge thanks to Todd at Acadia Recording Company for providing a safe, professional place to play and of course for the sweet, heavy mix. And thank you, Pat Keane at Pat Keane Mastering!

Hi community. As many of you know Bandcamp is waiving their fees today which means any music you purchase from musicians today supports them fully. If you have some extra financial resources to keep your community afloat, this is a good way to leverage those. We've attached a handy photo of bands you can support this way. Please take care of each other and practice physical distancing, but social support.

Sean Mencher's Rockin' Afternoon!
We made it to the The New England Shake-Up this past weekend for Sean Mencher's Rockin' Afternoon! Here's a clip of Sean Mencher playing with Bobby Trimble (of Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys), Chris Casello (The Chris Casello Trio), Graham Tichy, and Jesse Woeful during his seminar on the 1976 RCA Victor record, Chester and Lester. We're looking forward to another session using the old Event Record's gear with Michael Hurtt's Haunted Hearts this week!
Caleb Mars Hickman is back at Acadia! Caleb rented the studio for the entire week (including a full day of tracking during the blizzard) and we've been working hard on his new album "The Magic Eye"

a few years back on this very day came the real s**t. we will always be proud of this one (we recorded it in a lightening-fast, mostly live-to-tape session at Acadia Recording Company). today would be a poetic day to revisit it or get ears on it for the first time... but every day is a great day to crank this bad bitch.
Little something we produced over the COVID days of 2020 with our team working remotely. My cousin Nick Vigue made it all come together with his filming and editing and Acadia Recording Company mastering the track https://youtu.be/TxKbixWyv3s
I had the pleasure of recording with my dudes from Thrown To The Wolves this past weekend at Acadia Recording Company in Portland, ME. I am really happy with what I was able to contribute, and I’m looking forward to hearing the record after it’s done being mixed and mastered
