We're proud to announce that Saint Claire has teamed up with the fine people who run the Mountain Stage Newsong Contest. This year's winner will accompany Grammy-winning producer/engineer Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, Norah Jones, etc.) to our studio to record an EP. They'll be staying on site and living it up while working on their project.
Here's Jacquire talking about the contest:
Regional winners have been announced and are moving on to the finals. We're eagerly watching to see who will be the lucky winner to come record with us! Good luck to all the talented finalists!

Loveland Music Academy returns!
Aaron O'keefe, director of the Loveland Music Academy, called up to tell us that they had such a great experience the first time, they wanted to come back for another round of recordings! This time around they tackled much deeper, more involved tunes, such as "Live and Let Die" and "Revolution Is My Name". I stated it here last time I wrote about the Loveland school, but it bears repeating; these kids can really play! Their collective level of skill is really amazing. Hopefully we'll be seeing some of them again later down the road when they've graduated to become working pros...
Our guys, Tim Price and Cailon Williams, handled the session, which lasted from 8 am until nearly midnight. It was a long day of recording and yielded some incredible results. Videos of the day should be up sometime in the near future. We'll be sure to post them when they're available.

ABC WTVQ at Saint Claire Recording Company
Steve Broderson, a local musician and jingle writer who has worked countless times at Saint Claire, brought our local ABC affiliate to us to produce a new station promo. Steve wrote and recorded a large portion of the music at home, then brought his tracks to our studio to record drums, vocals, and a few other odds and ends. While he was here working on the music, a representative from ABC came out to capture footage of the session to be used in the piece. Tim Price recorded and mixed the music, assisted by Cailon Williams. The station promo should start running on WTVQ 36 in the upcoming weeks.
Anwar Sadat @ Saint Claire Recording Company
The newly emerging Louisville band, Anwar Sadat, came to Saint Claire in August to record the first two tracks for their forthcoming EP. The music they perform rides the line between post-punk and aggressive indie-rock (mixed with elements of electronic instruments, hip-hop style lyrical performances, and.... well, let's just say they're hard to describe...).
They've got tons of energy and the songs they sing are fueled by an antagonistic view towards the state of the world as they see it. Despite that fiery source of inspiration, they deliver opinions on some heavy issues with tongue-in-cheek humor and cynical comparisons. Seem hard to grasp? That's because this is one of those bands that's difficult to categorize. More sessions are planned for the near future to finish out the EP (which, in true indie fashion, is intended to be pressed to 7" vinyl).
