Champlain Valley Folk Festival's Friend Space (Top 8)
Nick Bowers, Sound Recordings isn’t just a live sound
recording studio. Located in a 200 year
old 3 bedroom bed and breakfast style farmhouse on 40 acres in Wolcott,
Vermont, the project studio of NBSR offers great rates, a relaxed atmosphere,
and the seclusion needed to lay down those most righteous of tracks. And just like the mobile unit, there is never
an initial mixing charge at Nick Bowers, Sound Recordings.
Thanks for the add! Nick Bowers, Sound Recordings is available to record any and all of the stellar live performances at this years Champlain Valley Folk Festival. Check out our page or contact the studio directly at Nick Bowers.Studio@gmail.com or call (802) 730-7368 to speak with Nick.
Thanks for adding to our site. We actually helped (along with Viveka Fox, Peter McFarlane and Franklin Hayburn) to close down your festival this past summer. After we finished jamming with those people Sunday night we walked out into a very dark and deserted field to find our cars. We enjoyed it to the full!
Hooo--eeee! I see you've taken a liken to us Sweetback Sisters hmmm? Well you stop by anytime to say "Howdy," you hear?

Thanks for reaching out, it sounds like you have a wonderful festival going up there! One of us (Doug) went to college at Goddard in Plainfield, and loves that part of the world...
Good luck with this year's festival, and happy new year!
