   About 12 Bar Productions


WE ARE PROUD MEMBERS OF THE WOLF PACK! Shouldn't YOU be?

------------

INTERESTED IN A GREAT, LOW COST DEMO CD? WE CAN DO IT FOR $500!! Call Larry at 314-397-4644 for all the details and to set up a session. This offer is just for the summer months, so act quickly!!

------------

On May 31, we began recording sessions for the much awaited, full-length album from the mega-showmanship band, Borean Dusk! These guys are consummate professionals and have some of THE coolest music, including exotic instruments, melodic structures with a Celtic feel, song structure that is reminescent of classical music's Andantes, movements, and Finales, with a gradual build-up that takes you to a whole new musical place! Add to that a stage show that includes kilts and ...... well ...... nuff said!

Recording should be completed by the end of June and the album should be ready for release by early August. You can check them out LIVE at POP's on August 16th, sponsored by Voodoo Queen Management, Rock of Hope, SunBurst Logo, Angie Knost Photography, KSHE-95 & 12 Bar Productions, Hot Topic, The Wolf Pack, Riverfront Radio.com, Sold Out Promotions, and St. Luniverse

------------

We are so pleased to let everyone know that we have completed the John Nikos album "Long Road" and it is scheduled to drop to the public in late June. It is at the manufacturer as we write this and a HUGE CD release party is scheduled for The Sheldon. Stay tuned for more details and ticket availability. John is an amazing songwriter and guitarist and we believe he has put together an album of tremendous, folky, laid-back, mellow music that will absolutely captivate you. It's smooth as wet ice, man. You can hear a couple of his tracks on our player and, beginning June 1, you'll have the opportunity to hear all the songs on the 12 Bar website - http://www.12barproductions.com.

------------

We have put the Andy Whitten project to bed!! It is at the manufacturer now and we can't wait to get it on the street. "No Assembly Required" is destined to be a Country/Christian crossover hit, and "Let The Children Come" has massive Contemporary Christian potential. You'll love it! Andy is an exceptional writer and this album is going to be a very big hit! Watch for it in a few short weeks!

------------

Drew Mantia's album Save Yourself is selling extremely well! If you don't have your copy yet, you should grab one. The album is available from CDBaby, at Drew's shows, or on the 12 Bar website (http://www.12barproductions.com), and you can download the digital version from a dozen places, such as iTunes, AmazonMP3.com, Rhapsody, DigStation, eMusic and so on. Here's your link to get it at iTunes:

"12 Bar Productions has helped me to realize a dream I've had for a long time. The combination of innovativeness, technical expertise, and productive quality has made my music better ....... as good as I could ever have imagined."

John Charlton - Singer/Songwriter - Adult Contemporary

"I have had the opportunity to work with Larry Cowsert at 12 Bar Productions and it was a great and positive experience. He, Travis and the others at 12 Bar will work diligently to make sure you are totally happy with the results of your production and have an amazing work ethic, which is sometimes difficult to find in this industry. Although a small studio, they can put out great sounding material, including my live album, which is getting great attention for its crisp and clear sound, not always found in live cds."

Javier Mendoza - Singer/Songwriter - Adult Contemporary

"12 Bar Productions offers a friendly environment to work in, so that you can be creative and comfortable. I enjoyed working with Larry Cowsert and the engineers, and am grateful for all of the support and encouragement they gave my band during our sessions."

Ben Levin - Guitarist/Composer

"These guys have put out some quality stuff, and they just keep getting better. Their passion for their work assures the customer that they will get the greatest of attention and quality that 12 Bar has to offer."

Billy DeCampli - Owner - Silvertooth Records, Producer - Sony Records, and Platinum songwriter

"The gang at 12 Bar Productions is top notch. We felt more than comfortable the moment we stepped in the door.  Larry, Travis, and Kevin were a pleasure to work with, and all of  the equipment is top of the line. I would highly recommend these guys for all of your recording needs. Thanks guys. I look forward to many years of friendship and great music."

Andy Whitten - Singer/Songwriter - Contemporary Christian/Country

Jun 16 2009 2:32 PM

Thanks for your friendship and supporting my music!

Alphanaut is a one-man electronica project by musician Mark Alan, which lifted off after a decade away from song writing. During the time between Fall of 2007 and Summer of 2008 the creative process began again and two dozen songs formed. Five of these pieces have just been completed in studio for Alphanaut's debut EP "The Lunar Age".
