Echo Mountain Recording Studio
|
Leigh Glass Band Asheville-based blues troubadour Leigh Glass put the first lineup of her band together in 2003, but her own musical history goes back much farther. "I took piano lessons when I was little...but it didn't stick," she laughs. Leigh's original songs are built upon an electric blues musical foundation, with healthy ladles of country (and country-blues) influences added. A list of her musical heroes covers a wide spectrum of American artists and genres: Ann Wilson (rock), Gillian Welch (Americana), Tina Turner (blues and soul), Emmylou Harris (country) and Leontyne Price (opera). Leigh's style distills all of these and more into the blues idiom, but her lyrics are always prominent in the mix. Leigh offers, "My songs are all stories that run the gamut of emotions and characters." Audiences follow her lyrics closely, and onstage Leigh delivers them with gusto: "I tell people, if you sit in the front row, you're gonna get (accidentally) spit on!" |

Justin Townes Earle
I have to say, there's not a better way to ease into the craziness of Moogfest than spending a week with Justin Townes Earle and his crew. Justin and his crew set up in the Church studio for a week of analog recording. With an extremely talented band, and highly qualified production staff, they hammered out all the tracking in no time. We're excited to hear the finished product once it's all said and done. He's the winner of the 2011 Americana Music Awards Song of the Year for his previous album. We're sure the future is pretty bright for this talented artist and his band.

Steep Canyon Rangers
It was nice to have our hometown friends of Steep Canyon set up in the API studio for a bit of time. The past year has taken the Steep Canyon Rangers to new heights. In March 2011, the band released its first collaborative record with Steve Martin, ”Rare Bird Alert” (also recorded here at our studio) which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Chart and at #43 on the Billboard Top 200. In 2010, the latest solo record from Steep Canyon Rangers, ”Deep In The Shade”, remained in the Bluegrass Top 10 on Billboard for 18 weeks. While headlining festivals like MerleFest and Bonnaroo alongside Steve Martin for part each year, the Rangers continue to perform alone as a quintet on stages such as Telluride, RockyGrass, and ”A Prairie Home Companion” with Garrison Keillor. Recent television appearances by Steve Martin with Steep Canyon Rangers include ”Late Night With David Letterman”, ”The Colbert Report” & ”Austin City Limits.”
