Ross Livermore Band – To Life

December 29, 2014 by Rafi

The Ross Livermore Band perform one of their slower, downbeat ballads, featuring Studio A’s Hammond C2 organ. This arrangement unwinds with a blended and passionate four-part harmony. The band camped in Studio A for a few days and tracked a bunch of tunes LIVE to our lovely 2″ tape!

2014 Yard Sale

May 27, 2014 by Rafi

Here are some pictures Jon snapped at our yard sale the other day. It was our 4th annual, and though the weather seemed like it was out to get us (it even made us cancel our first date, then made that day marvelous), the clouds parted and we had some of our best yard sale weather to date.
Many objects traded hands – not sure if anyone left lighter than they arrived, but a good time was had by all.
A special shout-out to our crack team of interns, who did a really fantastic job deploying tables, electricity, hot dogs, and beverages!
