Andy Palmer’s New Release: Sometime Around (video)

Last year I began a record with a songwriter who was that rare artist who had been writing (great) songs and developing his craft, but had never released a record/ep/single. When I heard Andy Palmer for the first time I knew there was something special and we had a great project ahead of us. Andy’s

I’m really excited to be taking most of September off for a trip to France. I’ll be spending a week in Southern France at Studio La Fabrique with Michael Brauer for a masterclass on mixing. See the video for a taste of what’s to come. After the class I’ll be on little European vacation and

Mix: Braving The Atlantic about to drop…

Justin Peacock — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 03:01:40 +0000

In June I mixed an EP for Dave Hedin and his new solo project Braving the Atlantic. The songs are some of the coolest, most interesting and rocking material I’ve heard from anyone in a long time. There are moments of influence from bands like The Killers, Bloc Party and Snow Patrol. It’s very much

I am excited to announce the release of a fantastic EP I recently produced for Denver-based singer-songwriter Olivia Rudeen! The 5-song EP “Until Now” is Olivia’s first solo effort. The songs are fantastic, well crafted acoustic-based tunes, kind of Americana, almost roots-rock in vibe. Don’t let Olivia fool you: she’s only 19 but blew me

Back in early April I got a call to do a string date at Immersive Studios with Devotchka (yeah yeah, I know I’m behind on the blog). I’m a big fan of this band and was stoked for the opportunity to do even a little bit of work on their upcoming record. Producer Craig Schumacher

Back in November (2009) I began a new record with Colorado music scene veterans and songwriters Ted Mentry and Allison Hawkins. Their band and original music project The Planets can be found playing gigs all over Colorado… Pre-production was a blast. We dug in and collaborated to come up with some really cool production ideas

Shifting gears dramatically after finishing up production on Gary Johnson’s new record, I had none other than Dr. Noize in to mix a new single he wrote for Grammaropolis.com! Dr. Noize is children’s music artist Cory Cullinan. I helped Cory mix his first Dr. Noize album “The Ballad of Phineas McBoof”, and the single “Banana”
