Alisha Kelsey Session 1

Alisha Kelsey is a singer songwriter who I am hoping becomes the front person for my band. When she came to audition with us she sat down with confidence and belted out about 4 of her own songs. I was impressed with her aplomb, but she has a sweet, strong and versatile voice as well.

I asked her if I could record her stuff . . . she said please.

So tonight she showed up with an amazing Ovation Custom Elite, and her voice and tracked two songs. What a rewarding experience for both of us. We have many more sessions to go, and again I feel like the results will be killer.

Shane Hastings Session 1

Shane Hastings was referred to me by a friend, he had heard some recordings done in my studio and liked them, and wanted to put down some of his guitar work.

Shane is a very technical shred guitarist, and the two songs that we worked on were frenetically paced layered guitar songs, appropriately featuring coffee inspired names, Quadshot, and Bean Juice.

Shane was a pro, sticking takes, totally prepared. It was a great session and the results will be great.
