Justin Peacock — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:40:41 +0000

Last year I began a record with a songwriter who was that rare artist who had been writing (great) songs and developing his craft, but had never released a record/ep/single. When I heard Andy Palmer for the first time I knew there was something special and we had a great project ahead of us. Andy’s

Late last year I had the pleasure of mixing a record for Boulder banjo artist Jake Schepps. For his record “An Evening in the Village”, Jake arranged Bartók piano works and folk songs for American string band. In addition to Jake on banjo, the album features musicians Ryan Drickey on violin, Matt Flinner on mandolin, Grant Gordy and Ross

I’m really excited to be taking most of September off for a trip to France. I’ll be spending a week in Southern France at Studio La Fabrique with Michael Brauer for a masterclass on mixing. See the video for a taste of what’s to come. After the class I’ll be on little European vacation and

In June I mixed an EP for Dave Hedin and his new solo project Braving the Atlantic. The songs are some of the coolest, most interesting and rocking material I’ve heard from anyone in a long time. There are moments of influence from bands like The Killers, Bloc Party and Snow Patrol. It’s very much

I am excited to announce the release of a fantastic EP I recently produced for Denver-based singer-songwriter Olivia Rudeen! The 5-song EP “Until Now” is Olivia’s first solo effort. The songs are fantastic, well crafted acoustic-based tunes, kind of Americana, almost roots-rock in vibe. Don’t let Olivia fool you: she’s only 19 but blew me

Back in November (2009) I began a new record with Colorado music scene veterans and songwriters Ted Mentry and Allison Hawkins. Their band and original music project The Planets can be found playing gigs all over Colorado… Pre-production was a blast.

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

“Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora” Catches Fire!

Justin Peacock — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 06:36:47 +0000

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. First, the song won Sound Cloud’s holiday song competition!
