Judy's News:
Studio work:
I had a blast producing tracks on Jenny Tolman. We recorded at Mainframe Studios, Nathan Smith at the helm. Jenny has written all her own songs which along with her tracks and vocals rival anything on country radio. I believe this album could jump start a big career for her. We should finish the project in May. Here's her production team:
Back row: Mike Chapman, Chris Leuzinger, Catherine Styron-Marx, Kerry Marx, Nathan Smith, me, Robby Turner
Front row: Jenny Tolman, Brian Fullen
Presentations:
I guested with Nick Cusumano for the Ed Reach podcast. The interview
is lllooooong... over an hour... but can be viewed by clicking here .
