We've got a comfortable and vibey recording studio down the block from NBC, ABC and Disney; a tight network of world-class artists; and a focus on creating music that's arresting, disarming, and maybe just a little bit different.

Robin Brennan's CD, I'll be home for Christmas, has a special mission: to help disabled vets and their families by raising awareness and funds.
Dedicated to her brother, Major Scott A. Weakley, a U.S. Army Retired, 22 years service, Disabled Vet, Wounded Warrior, Combat Veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Robin says, "I'm making this CD to honor my brother Scott and others like him. In order to make a real impact we need more help. Please spread the word."
10% of the CD proceeds go to benefit disabled vets and their families. See Robin's artist page for the whole story and to hear songs from the CD.

Red Oak Duo, f.Boo artists Adam Benjamin and Storm Nilson, have teamed up with their new duo project "Red Oak." Their self-titled debut album was released in July and the duo hit the road for their West Coast CD release tour.
Red Oak is a natural synthesis of jazz and country... a sophisticated jazz vibe intertwines with the pastoral sounds of country and folk to create a unique and evocative portrait of modern-day America.
These two acclaimed composers and improvisors, whose relationship dates back to their days as students at the California Institute of the Arts, have crafted a unique duo act. Reminiscent of Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny and Keith Jarrett, the landscapes of America are painted in stark detail on their debut album. Check out Red Oak Duo on their f.Boo artist page and at redoakduo.wordpress.com.
"Home" tells a story about American music, mixing adventure with a yearning for the familiar. In Nilson's words, "The fusion between jazz and rural-based music is not only beautiful, but naturally blends my feelings about my own geographical past with a musical journey across the continent.” Check out Storm on his f.Boo artist page and at stormnilson.com.
Keven Brennan's own "Stand in the Light" album is getting great reviews. See his page for words from Mr. H of Zeitgeist.
Scott Cowie is a singer/songwriter from the small town of Airdrie just outside of Glasgow. His charming satire, sharp wit, and honest perspective on life wound its way into our artistic hearts.

"...Boudreaux takes the music light years from what he and his "gang" were laying down at the H&R Bar... Like a West African djali or griot, Boudreaux is a musician, poet, storyteller, historian, preacher, and teacher, and what he imparts on Won't Bow Down is very much the story of his life..."

We contiue to celebrate the release of Big Chief Monk Boudreaux's "Won't Bow Down."
The New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian phenomenon is part music, part heritage, part ancestry, part revelry, part fashion, and oft misunderstood. Big Chief Monk Boudreaux is one of the most famous and enduring leaders of that culture and head of the Golden Eagle Mardi Gras Indian tribe.
"Won’t Bow Down" is guided by Monk’s adventurous spirit and love for varied musical styles. Originally released as a single, but now on the album, “Monk’s Mardi Gras” features the rhythm section of Orgone with Dr. John on piano, and takes us through Monk’s history as an Indian, from childhood to Big Chief. “Footsteps” is “the best song about cooking I’ve ever heard,” says Monk’s producer, Keven Brennan. “I was sitting in his kitchen while Monk was cooking, and he was telling me how he’s been preparing game like raccoon and gator since he was a kid, “taking it home and cooking it for my mother and family.”
This project features Dr. John (piano), Jim Keltner (drums), Papa Mali (guitar), Orgone, and Monk's son Joseph Boudreaux Jr., just to name a few.
