Happy New Year 2006!

It's been an exciting 2005 at ESM and we're looking forward to an even better 2006! But first, let's catch up with a few things that happened through December.

Cody Kouba mastered his 13-song country album "Days and Nights". The album was produced by the pedal steel extrodinaire, Brian Thomas and mixed by Andy Bradley at SugarHill Studios.

Esotype Records, good friends and clients of ESM, brought in an album for their band Tambersauro. The avant guarde/noise influenced album is titled "Box=Box".

Calvin Owens is presently working on not one, not two, not three, but FOUR albums all at the same time!

Just finished is the newest album for the Calvin Owens Blues Orchestra, "Ain't Gonna Be Yo' Dog No Mo'", with 15 smokin' tunes. Also just finished is the Calvin Owens HipHop Orchestra's "Say Boy, How You Do That Thang?". It's a unique collaboration between COBO's backing music and rapping from Rasheed, Classic Thugs and Valdemar.

Finishing up this week is the Calvin Owens Orquestra Azul's "Blues en Español - Es Un Amor Legendario" as well as an album with Trudy Lynn, "I'm Still Here". Mixing and co-producing all the albums is Andy Bradly at SugarHill Studios. Go Calvin and Andy!

One of the most exciting pieces of news is that ESM will be closed January 30th through February 3rd for a renovation of our mastering studio! Keep your eyes on this web page for updates on that particular project.
