The Artists

3PM: Who said high school rock sucks?  These young men and woman deliver a soulful journey of original music.  Visit 3PM on MySpace

.Evan Wickham: Evan is an accomplished Christian singer/songwriter and pastor. Evan's sample tune Jesus Come was recorded live at a November 2008 concert. Evan's CD Mysterious Things is available at iTunes and CD Baby

Gene Cousart: Arabia is a rock opera written by Gene Cousart and Rich Macleod.  Good Ole boys is a song from Arabia about Texas rednecks living in the Middle East.  Arabia takes a light hearted (self deprecating) look at the life of an expatriate in the oil fields.

Metro: Jazz, soul and funk meisters perform Carlos Santana's Smooth at a live British Aerospace event.

Jenna Headspeath:  Jenna is a young lady with an incredible voice.  We had the pleasure of recording several songs with Jenna, karaoke style, and her 1-take performances bested the originals.  Have a listen and decide for yourself.

Ben Cole and Company: Guitar virtuoso Ben Cole is an amazingly talented guitarist with chops to die for.  This recording was made during Ben's 2007 vacation with a pickup band.  Ben is accompanied by his cellist-bass playing father John for this recording.

The Grace Girls: These six moms love to sing in praise. Well, actually only 5 sing whilst Lauri wails on the piano. Ya gotta love these girls and the heartfelt spirit they bring to their music.

ROCK: The ROCK group was a summer pickup band of Christian college and high school students.  They rehearsed for a week and we recorded on a hot Thursday afternoon in July 2007.  It was a joy working with this group of young adults and we had an exhausting but incredibly fun day together. 

Joyful Noise:  Joyful noise is a Christian vocal group led by a gifted French architect / pianist.  The vocalists come from around the globe: Syria, South Africa, France, Canada, and the USA.  Mark's on bass.

Get Reel:  An irish band of grade school teachers, a paleontologist and a geophysicist.  I like to think of their music as a hybrid Celtic-Bluegrass fusion. Mark's on bass.

Bedouin Blues Band:  Wanna be rockers in their 50's.  Broke up in 2005 due to retirements and repatriation.  Mark's on bass.

Peter Gibson:  Another Irish man who isn't afraid to wear a dress in public.  Peter is a great bass player who doesn't play bass on this track.  This recording is from a mono live board feed.

Desert Bloom: This track is from a CD of about 12 original songs written by a group of Christians from Syria ranging in age from 15 to 60.  Another wonderful group of people to hang with, but they didn't like my studio dog.  The synth music was created and tracked to stereo by the composer on his laptop.

Celtic Express:  Mark's first attempt to record a band.  Created with a Soundblaster Audigy 2 sound card and a couple cheap microphones.  It can be done, and we were amazed at the time.
