Long-time client Donna Adler of Chicago recently did some live recording with Michael Johnson (above) and drummer Dave Lawbaugh at Creative Caffeine. Donna just finished an album she produced at Creative Caffeine and her light, folky sound is starting to gain momentum on various radio stations across the country.

This was one of the first sessions using 2 hand made Brandt Previs wood microphones. We used only 2 Brandt mics on the kit with a Sennheiser MD421 on the kick. This was a KILLER setup for the intimate style of drums Donna was looking for!
Michael’s gut string sounded great through our Telefunken U47, of course.

Dave Lawbaugh…as I live and breathe! Looks like a GREAT set up you guys have there. I’d love to be back in touch since I’m now on Face Book and have been collecting old tour members for the last few years. I left entertainment (read AEP) over ten years ago and now am on staff at a large church in columbus on teh communications team. Heidi is the church wedding administrator. Just saw Mark last week for the first time in 13 years!!
Let me know how I can stay in touch. you look great, by the way.
