Session Americana – Tracking in Studio A (Gallery)

by

Session Americana hunkered down for a tracking party in Studio A for three days. We lost count of how many people were involved! The room was setup for a party, and a party was indeed captured. Engineering the festivities was Matt Beaudoin; to add a bit of drama to the mix Mrs. Beaudoin was due today, the 29th of May!  The Mayor was at the ready, should baby Beaudoin arrive (as of the posting of this gallery, there’s still no news of a baby).  Sean Cahalin assisted, and our crack staff of interns was on hand, as usual.  Here are some pictures from the session!

The Blue Ribbons – Fooling Around

by

The Blue Ribbons, with some help from Gipsy Pixel video production, perform their song “Fooling Around” for a live studio audience, recorded and mixed by one of our senior engineers, Matt Beaudoin. With bluesy and sizzling prowess, The Blue Ribbons land and detonate with an upbeat original of theirs. Described as “Ray Charles and Tom Waits on a pirate ship with Sun Ra and Captain Beefheart,” they combine “upbeat disillusionment and celebratory fatalism with musicianship.” You can find more of their music here: https://theblueribbons2.bandcamp.com
