   About Chris Mara Indie Producer
Hey guys. My name is Gina Turner. I'm Chris' Artist Relations Rep. I've created this page to better network with all the bands and artists we've had the pleasure to meet, and to reach out to bands and artists who are looking for a quality recording experience. Hang out awhile. Check out the sounds and sights. Read all you want, and if you think Chris may be a good match for you, don't hesitate to contact me. We can talk about your project in as great or little detail as you like and hopefully dial in the key elements your music needs to succeed.

Chris has been a career engineer (and inevitably, a producer) for the last 12 years. He works regularly at studios in & around Nashville, as well as Minneapolis, Cleveland, and the AL/MS Gulf Coast, and he has access to private studios all over the country. His recording-based articles can also be found in magazines such as Tape Op and EQ.

While Rock music is his focus, a visit to www.chrismara.com will reveal that Chris has worked with many, many bands in the veins of Alternative, Pop, Folk, and other related genres as well. And a quick visit to the Testimonials link will tell the artist satisfaction tale.

BANDS:
Once you've got the idea down...songs, budget, and tenative time frame, get in touch. It's never too soon to reach out and see what's available. We can help you through the entire process or with any stop along the way.

INDEPENDENT LABELS:
If you're looking for a producer to add to your contact list, message me. If you're looking for a single cost-effective/time-conscious place to send your bands for optimum results, message me.

The most prominent concept I hope everyone will take away from this profile is FLEXIBLITY. Chris is fully equipped to work with you at a gammut of Nashville studios OR at a studio in your town OR you can skip the studio all together and make your album ANYWHERE you want. And he can offer you ANY facet of your project from concept to mastering to album artwork design and ANYWHERE or EVERYWHERE in between. If you're building a studio for home or professional use, he can even consult. If you need something, chances are good we can offer a hand...and protect your bank account in the process.

FOR HIM


Think
whatever you like about the man.
But i like to think he was a martyr;
suffered
so that others might know
not to.

He wasn't Jesus.

Yet,

certainly,

he taught a lesson of forgiveness.

To forgive yourself;
even if you happen to be an onerous prick.

That the wretched
and the miserable
have the right to tell their stories- as they are often the more interesting.

That
the truest love is a poor one.

That
the most honest relationships
exist between the mad
and the chemically imbalanced.

And
he taught-

that a man
without a thousand friends
and a thousand lovers,

is still a man.
