There is no secret that with the shutdown of the Alberta Live Entertainment scene, many of us were shelved and plans halted. When I was pretty much forced into... closure in March 2020, there were a lot of things I needed to consider. The one thing I opted to pursue was going back to my roots; going back to the reason I became a sound guy - I was writing and playing original compositions and ended up being the sound guy for others because I was a better sound tech than a musician. I then dove deep into Audio Engineering that eventually lead to me to opening up Nero Productions Group Inc. I was still doing studio work more frequently than concerts at that point. As the company grew, concerts and festivals became my main focus. I have greatly missed the creative processes of composition and artist expression available through song writing. I have completed pre-production for a few others and have heard from Mixing Engineers how great it is to have clean, consistent tone and volume as a starting point on the tracks I have supplied. This has resulted in a much shorter mix down session than expected, with a better outcome. This has also allowed projects to remain on budget. For this reason I have opted to come to the market with my offer now fully operational and public. I would be honoured to assist those of you who are also recording at home through this season, and allow me to add polish and maybe bump a few cents of pitch up or down as needed to keep you locked in. Please see what I am offering as a professional service effective immediately.

The Alberta Room showcases at this years Folk Alliance are going to start at 7:00 PM Mountain time, Monday Feb 22nd. The schedule is attached here and this is the link to get tickets. The public can tune in and view for as little as $0.00 or you can make a donation if you are in postition to do so. Each day it will run in real time so if you want to see a certain performance, you will need to be there at that time. At the end of each day, they will be archived until Sunday Feb 28th. We have a great line up again this year, take some time and follow along. Here is the link for public access https://www.eventbrite.com/e/folk-unlocked-virtual-showcase

Tickets are being sold by the Bow Valley Music Club, not the Ironwood.
