Roads to Rhymes
ADR has always been driven
when it comes to finding
innovative ways to producing and promoting local
artists. In fact, that is where
the name comes from. Over
the years ADR has evolved

help of a few loyal friends,
the mobile studio was built,
and ready to hit the road.

ADR fans were being made,
and some unexpected
visitors made my day even
better.

Taylor stopped by with his
buddy Kevin Fowler. Both

by and liked it so much he
