Recordings, Haiti Benefit and the new Studio

Our apologies for the delay in getting content out these past weeks!  We have just finished moving into our new apartment, recorded 2 benefit concerts (one for Camp Mark, one for Haiti) and have had full work weeks.  It has been intense to say the least.  Here is a small rundown of what is going on…

First off, the Cool Hand Luke show is nearly finished.  I’m polishing it off (it was a very rough recording) and we should have mp3s up very very soon.

Secondly, the Haiti benefit show recorded at the 930 Listening Room is in the process of song selection by the artists and then will go through a final mixdown.  My honest prediction is that it will be available for download sometime next week.  I am really looking forward to releasing this one.  The entire show was wonderful, the sound is great and I love every single artist who performed.

Lastly…  As some of you may know we are currently in the process of building a brand new recording studio in downtown Louisville.  The name has yet to be finalized, but it will be located on the corner of 7th and St. Catherine.  We plan on running  it as the low-cost high-quality alternative to other studios around town.  We will be posting more detail on that in the near future.

The Bowerbirds performance from November 16th is now available for download in the audio section. ( Alternately you can listen to the full concert via our podcast, or streaming directly in your browser via the embedded player at the bottom of this post.)

A small note: The fuzz on the guitar is not part of the recording process, but rather was a malfunction of the amp on stage. It was in need of repair but the Bowerbirds played on despite this setback! I attempted to ‘mellow out’ the tone but I could only do so much. The recording is a 4 channel matrix, and although very simple, captured the night beautifully! Enjoy!

Gallery – Rural Kentucky

This past weekend we went on a drive through Northern Kentucky (just north of Louisville, south of Cincinnati, OH) and Danielle took tons of photos. Many of them will be printed up but for now you can see a few of them in the photography gallery. This series covers farmlands off I-71 North of Louisville, and the next series will cover I-65 South of Louisville.
