mother country

May 5, 2011

in 2008, i spent three days at the kingston trio fantasy camp with dave crossland.  it was a memorable intro to the work of john stewart, and his vast contribution to the american songbook.  to put it bluntly, stewart is THE quintessential folk singer/songwriter; his songs are known by most folks, yet his name is rarely mentioned; consider the monkees’ 1967 hit, ‘daydream believer’.   in 2009 i had the pleasure of connecting crossland with tom polce to produce an album commemorating dave’s musical mentor, american songwriter john stewart.  we produced a video based on the studio session, and crafted a series of stills for the project, aptly called ‘mother country’.  last weekend at the skylight theatre in los angeles, dave previewed the upcoming album with members of the original john stewart band in front of a packed house.  to find out more about this project, visit the site at mothercountry.org.  and an extra shout out to our collaborators on the video; aaron shadwell & abby getman.

sweet & spicy soiree

March 1, 2011

what better way to spice up the winter doldrums than to throw a sweet and spicy soiree for – and with – our favorite vendors.

genevieve fleure (designer, artist and illustrator specializing in branding & custom invitations) was the master-mind behind the invitations which featured a cookie resting on a bed of hot peppers. la morra offered an array of apps from tuscan meatballs to spiced nuts, and featured a blood orange martini (with a little help from their friends at wine gallery select imports). be our guest provided pink & blue stemmed glasses to complement the spirit of the occasion. dj corin ashley of murray hill talent set the tone of the evening, and the hot florals were done by andrew anderson of ilex designs. whit wales, aka smart, stealthy cinematographer, captured the evening and made our studio look larger than life on the small screen.

here’s a big shout out to our contributing vendors and  to our friends that made the night oh so sweet; thank you for warming up a cool evening in the village! love to all of you from all of us at the studio!  xxoommmmm…
