In Your Ear News Spring 2010
Chris Brown Tracks at IYE
Number One! Chris Brown, rap artist Tyga and Kevin McCall just topped the prestigious Billboard chart for Hip Hop and R&B. We are very proud of Chris and the project's engineer, IYE's resident Michael "Kraff Singles" Congdon on this incredible accomplishment. All tracks where recorded and mixed here at the Ear in Studio B. The song "Deuces" is on the regular Billboard Pop Chart this week at number 29. It appears Chris is seriously back and we are delighted to play a part in his successful return.
The Cleveland Show live from IYE
Mike Henry and his brother Patrick are long-time friends of many of us at IYE so when Mike needs to voice his alter ego, it only makes sense to do it right here at home base. Paul Bruski is In Your Ear's resident ADR expert and the "go to" engineer for Mike's work on not only "Cleveland", but "The Family Guy" as well. Richmond may not be Stoolbend, but it's apparently close enough for Cleveland. Thanks Mike for all you do with us. Go to Fox Cleveland Show site.
Upper East Side Big Band Abbey Road
Mix a big band and a forty-year old rock masterpiece and what do you get? Nothing short of an amazing album from the mind of sax ninja and supreme arranger Samson Trinh. Featuring the vocal talents of Alyson and Curtis Mills and keyboard-vocalist Adrian Duke, along with an awesome array of instrumentalists. The result is a seriously soulful and adventuresome tribute to the Fab-Four recorded exclusively here at In Your Ear. The project, which has been two years in the making, will be released this June. Stay glued to this website or friend us at "In Your Ear" or "The Upper East Side Big Band" on Facebook for upcoming news on the CD release.
Jam Inc. Compilation Album Volume One
For over four years, Jam Inc. and In Your Ear have been hosting some of the best musical shows in the East right here in Studio A. From Bluegrass specialists to Jazz virtuosos, every time the doors open, it's a feast for the ears and the tummy as well. That's right, every concert starts with a covered-dish southern-style smorgasbord dinner and moves on to one of the best sounding concert venues anywhere. It's here that an audience of 75 people can become intimate with super talented musicians and even a dancer or two to experience musical nirvana. Since we record every show, a compilation album is a natural result and what a fine result it is! Volume One should be on sale by April 15th and you won't want to miss it. You will not believe the sound of these recordings, it's almost like being there! Unless of course, you were. Plan on being part of Volume Two by visiting Jaminc.org for more information on upcoming acts. Visit JamInc.Org.
