I just finished up mixing ‘s EP last night, and just came over today and mastered those mixes. Great to have another trusted set of ears on this one.

I’m incredibly proud of the work we did with and can’t wait for you guys to hear what’s about to be released in the next few weeks!

We tracked the rhythm section at then cut other band overdubs and vocals here at

Literally “ready or not”. Soft launch of the new Muscle Shoals location TODAY with .

The vocal booth is kind of “guerrilla ready”, no acoustic treatment on the control room walls, no artwork or guitar hangers yet. No tie lines in the control room, so, still a lot of work to be done.

But today…. We make music.

Long post warning.

To some some this pictures may look like chaos. For me these images represent the chaos coming to an end (in a good way.
They represent a vision that several of my good friends helped me see through from wild concept on a modest budget to a practical form taking shape. My dear friend helped me draw, budget, and calculate vibey finishes that seemed like would never get done before he came to help me.
This past year I have seen many forms of delay, calamity and personal devastation. But the weightiest of them all was losing our friend Chad while he was here helping us with the finishing touches on construction of this studio. He was so excited about what we were working on, so much so that he began to also get excited about the possibility of moving here and making records with us here in this studio in Muscle Shoals.
Losing our friend Chad took the wind out of my sails for quite a while. The joy and excitement over this studio project was nearly completely gone for a while. My heart was heavy and when I did begin working on it again, it almost felt like finishing something out of obligation. It felt like, “I have already spent so much money, I have to see it through.” And i also felt the normal obligation to just get back to work so I could provide for family. But….
Until today, I haven’t been truly “excited” about the studio being finished.
Today, when we rolled the Skywalker Neve in through the doors of Sonicboost Studio, I was genuinely excited.
I have a lot of work to do still.
- running audio tie lines
- installing acoustic treatment
- commissioning the Neve
- quite a lot of trim finishes and trim painting
And many many other tedious small, slow tasks. But still, it felt monumental to move this beast of a console into the control room.
And…. Words can’t really do justice describing the way I imagine Chad would be enjoying this day. He would be so proud of the way this place looks and feels and sounds - even without acoustic treatment yet. Tonight, I’m crying tears of joy, and I know Chad is in a MUCH better place AND I know he is agreeing with God tonight that it is good.

Sorry, not sorry, for the long post.

This album is in my top 10 favorite of all time. Pretty close to #1….

So, if you are one of my music nerd friends and have never done a deep dive on this album (or their 2nd album “Spilt Milk”), I commend this work to you friends. And if you can listen somewhere uninterrupted, on a system that does it justice, even better. To this day, instill hear things I’ve never noticed before - even though I’ve listened intently to this album since the week it came out - 1,000s of times…

Just finished with scoring the foundational music tracks for another film. It’s a documentary about the recovery efforts in western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene struck last October.
I got to work on this one with my good friend Michael Roderick. We have worked hard and had fun doing it for the past 2 solid weeks.

I’m still set up in the temporary home of Sonicboost Studio until the studio is complete. Decided to pump the brakes and take some time off from the studio construction project to make sure I could give this film score the attention it deserves. It’s a topic near and dear to my heart. I ❤️ NC!!!
