PRC @Cedar Street Studios & More piano tracking @Third Story Recording ♫

Monday night, at Cedar Street Studios we hosted the monthly PRC (Philadelphia Recording Community) meeting. We had a great turnout and spread the word about Box of Stars, an organization that spreads mental health awareness (and reduces stigma) through music. PRC is a fantastic way to participate in and network with people/studios operating in the greater Philadelphia area, and it’s a genuinely nice and very interesting group. And Box of Stars is a fantastic organization in which I hope all of my readers opt to play a part.

This evening, I tracked additional piano for Diandra Gore at Third Story Recording. We recorded parts for an original song. It’s a fun, fast, and funky track.

 

It is such a pleasure and a thrill to be interning at these two fine Philly studios!

 

Stay tuned for more updates on my upcoming EP; bass/guitar/drum tracking are happening next week!
