Mixing new Grammaropolis single for Dr. Noize!
February 21, 2010
Shifting gears dramatically after finishing up production on Gary Johnson’s new record, I had none other than Dr. Noize in to mix a new single he wrote for Grammaropolis.com!
Dr. Noize is children’s music artist Cory Cullinan. I helped Cory mix his first Dr. Noize album “The Ballad of Phineas McBoof”, and the single “Banana” hit #1 on XM Kids Satellite Radio.
This new song is to learn kids right about how to talk good English is part of an educational website/program to help kids learn grammar. The song even has it’s own awesome video that you can watch here! Check it out!

Currently Mixing: Gary Johnson

Wow, time flies…
In November I had songwriter/guitarist Gary Johnson out from New York to record bass tracks with Jimmy Stofer. Gary then came back out for a week stint in December to track guitars for his upcoming full-length entitled “Tracing Starlines WIth Empty Hands”.
Now, come January/February 2010, it’s time to mix! I’m thrilled to be working on this project. The songs are fantastic and really have something for everyone. There are moments of pure guitar-driven pop, and moments of an honest singer-songwriter, all wrapped up in a really neat way. The record features Jimmy Stofer on bass and Kevin Soffera (formerly Breaking Benjamin and Seether) on drums. Rocking.
Mixing is nearly complete, with 6 tunes in the can and four more to go… Look Gary up on MySpace or Facebook and check out this record when it comes out late February!
“Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora” Catches Fire!
January 7, 2010
The kitschy holiday song I did with Dave and our friends Melissa Axel and James Jacoby has officially caught fire. I know it’s a little late to be thinking about Christmas music, but we finished the track a few months ago in time for holiday release.
Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora
First, the song won Sound Cloud’s holiday song competition! Read more here.
Second, holiday radio play was excellent, and the song garnered mentions and praise from numerous local music writers including Westword.
But last, and not the least, you can get the song now! Name your price and download it now from this site:

I hope you enjoy the song. I’ll repost this in about 11 months, just in case you miss this now. In the meantime, see you in the tropics…

If you’ve followed the blog you’ve probably seen some videos from the Saints sessions. I’m excited to announce that the EP is coming out and you can download two free tracks via our friends at Go Backstage. We produced, recorded and mixed the EP. It was mastered by Brian “Big Bass” Gardner and features a guest appearance by Mackenzie from the Flobots on the tune “Simple” as well as a string arrangement by Ysanne Spevack on the tune Colorado. Hope you enjoy the tunes!
