Looking around at this unassuming room and appreciating all the artists who entered it this year with their A Game—striving for that next rung on the ladder or simply creating beautiful music. Thank you all for making 2019 Gate City Studios’ most successful year yet. I’m so excited to see what 2020 can bring!

I'm excited to announce my plan to restring Gate City Studios' concert grand in May. I expect it to sound even better once completed! Naturally, projects involving the piano will have to be scheduled before or after this process. I anticipate decommisioning the instrument the first week in May but having it ready for action by June.

So great to make music again with this lovely and talented person. I had the honor of playing for Gretchen as she made great strides during her undergrad at UNCG. She has certainly kept up the momentum, becoming Grand Finalist in the 2018 Met Council Auditions as well as making her Glimmerglass debut in the same year. Enjoy!

Man, do I love having the studio packed with this much talent! And that includes the film crew of Mechanical Eye.

I love having violinists in the the studio. Best of luck to Dixie Ortiz as she competes in the Mason Young Artist Competition held by the Imperial Symphony Orchestra in Lakeland, Florida!

Still aglow from having Aaron Matson and his talented nonet in the studio last weekend! I’ve started in on the mixing and it’s gonna be GOOD, folks! If I could pull off the word “dope” that’s EXACTLY what I’d call Aaron’s arrangements.
