Just when I think I’m growing into one of those old people who just stop listening and buying new music, some incredible new releases emerge. Maybe I am getting a little old, these latest selections all seem to have a heavy dose of strings and acoustic instruments. Violin/Whistling mastermind, Andrew Bird dropped a new record
Just recently some of my favorite new releases have been coming from bands whose heyday seems like almost a decade ago. Last week Nada Surf released a brand new studio album; The Stars are Indifferent to Astronomy. Not that this release has come out of left-field, Nada Surf has continued to write & record their
There are rare moments in this “business” when you’re working with an artist and you start getting chills. The musician starts playing a progression or slides into a verse that just hits a chord with you. It’s only for a moment, and the best an engineer can do is hope to have a mic in
Hey there Scenic Route lovers! I know I’ve been neglecting you, but that was not my intention. I’ve been busy, I know I always say I’m busy, but this is busier than usual. Last month I was busting butt to finish a lot of projects and tie-up loose ends, because I am currently on tour.
This spring, I had the pleasure of helping the boys in local instrumental-rock duo The Water, with a week long tour. We started in Philly where they got to record a few songs at the WXPN studio’s, then hit up Buffalo, Brooklyn, New Jersey and back to Philly. On top of all the planning involved,

Like any skill or trade, even musicians who make a career from their passion often have to make difficult decisions. Finding the balance of making a living and just living is tough in any career. But when you make a livelihood drawing from what inspires you, you often find yourself being pulled back to your
For me, being so involved with the local music scene, and hearing dozens of out of town bands a week, is somewhat of a Catch-22. I’m always discovering new (and old) Baltimore bands, and all the touring music I’m exposed to, doesn’t leave me much time (or room on music shelves) to actually delve into
Wooden Dinosaur What an incredible week. I really got to experience some great roots, indie-folk and pop music; a nice blend of some of my favorite genres. First off, Wooden Dinosaur from Vermont kicked off a show I put together at Golden West. I knew it was going to be a good night when they
Only Thieves This was the second show I set up for this 4-piece from Tallahassee Florida. The first time was back in January, I had never seen or heard of them until they reached out to me. The songs on their myspace are really good, but gave me the feeling Only Thieves were a retro
The crew at Mobtown Studios (including myself), have been busting our butts these past couple of months. Mat Leffler-Schulman and I finished recording 9 songs with local band The Water last month.
