Happy 2007 Everyone!

Wow, what a crazy ride this past year has been! But we all know what a new year brings right? A new year means new changes, new resolutions, and definitely new ideas. Here's what has been going on in the ESM studio to bring in the new years besides champagne and fireworks!

January 2007:
Josh Duffy came in to rock out with us while we mastered his 12 song pop/electronica/punk album.

Adam Lett watches carefully over Allen's shoulder as Josh Duffy contemplates on what's going on

Back in the mastering studio is Ronnie Hall as he finished up his 13 song album.

Terry Westbrook, Leo O'Niel, and Ronnie Hall relax as Allen does his thing!

Luckily it wasn't Christmas when Noel Aleman brought in his new upcoming artist Grinch Rodriguez to master his 15 song album!

Also new to the mastering studio is a band called Medicine Show. They brought in their 15 song blue grass, gypsy, rock and roll influenced album after recording at SugarHill Studios with Leigh Crain.

(L-R) Geoffrey Muller, Scott McNeil, and Craig Kinsey sit back as Allen masters their new project!

And finally, how can we forget Brittany Wortham. She brought in her 10 song compilation for us to master after recording with Andy Bradley at SugarHill.

So there you have it! After reading this what more great projects can 2007 bring us? I can't wait to find out! Are you ready? I know the ESM family is!

Happy Holidays Everyone!
