Mobile Studio
told me that he would be back with
his band after his set. As great as the
day had gone, I was looking forward
to recording the next big hit. After the
show was over, I knew that’s when the
musicians would come out to play.
When the last song was played on stage
and the crowd cleared, the moment
had finally arrived. I knew that soon
artists from all over would be rushing to their campsites, grabbing their
guitars and looking for a good place to
jam. I hoped that for some, that place
would be the mobile studio. It was not
as easy as I expected. I failed to realize
that many artists still didn’t know that
there was not only an awesome place
to jam, but a perfect place for a live,
intimate recording session. As I stood
outside watching the inebriated pass by
I came up with a game plan; Look for
folks carrying a guitar case and chase
them down. The method proved to be
effective. It wasn’t long before I had
my first recording artist in the mobile
studio.
Much like ADR’s In-House Studio the
atmosphere was created for the artist. We would sit down, chat about
music, pick around, have a drink and
a smoke, until the moment was right
to start recording. Josh Halverson was
the epitome of the artist that I sought
out to record in the new studio and the
perfect person to kick things off for the
week of recording sessions. His laid
back mentality, free-spirited, philosophy and powerful soul-piercing songs
were followed by many others that I
would soon meet, record, and become
another one of their personal fans.
Late night sessions continued throughout the week, and various talent
dropped by to lay down some tracks.
Things were going great, but business
was starting to slow down. It was about
4am and I was getting ready to shut
down. I stepped out for one last look.
