Masterclass with Craig Anderton

Musician and author, Craig Anderton, was in Anchorage May 15th to conduct a Masterclass on Mixing & Mastering. This was a great program and an Alaskan first for this internationally-recognized authority on music and technology. Could this be the start of more industry events in the Last Frontier? I hope so!

Final Showcase a Success!

Tue, 11 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Songwriters of Alaska's season finale Songwriter Showcase was on May 8th. I shared the stage with three other talented songwriters - Robin Hopper, Randy Souhrada and Chad Reynvaan. We had a full house at Vagabond Blues and a very appreciative audience! This was the first time we tried a "songwriters in the round" format and it went great. We also collectively worked up four songs, one original from each. We're hoping our videographer captured some good moments of those that we can post online. Check out www.songwritersofalaska.com
