Singer Alexa Raquel can be seen most often rocking with her local tri-state area band “Wild Child.” She performs with other bands from time to time and has an upscale band to play corporate events, weddings and private affairs. Incredibly versatile she belts out metal to Mariah. Alexa has a back catalog of millions of original songs and we’ve started committing them to recordings one at a time. Excited to share samples as soon as possible!
Local singer Kevin Burk laying down some cover tunes for posterity. Kevin is front-man extraordinaire for “Patchwork” who play a lot of Chicago tunes and have had Chicago’s original drummer Danny Seraphine sit in numerous times. Kevin also joins singer Danny Beissel in an Elvis tribute and is joined here in the studio singing a Beatles tune together.
Vince is recording a cover of Alter Bridge’s “In Loving Memory Of” for his brother. This was a collaboration with Brian Bortnick on guitar, Bob Pirylis, Jr. on drums and me on guitar, bass and engineering/mixing/mastering duties.
When I started running sound for Octane back in September 2004, I never thought I’d ever record their music, I mean other than live. Over the years I started acquiring equipment for studio recording and along the way tracked some multi-track shows of theirs. Tin Angel shows, “Rise Up” CD Release show at Bootleggers and Brian Bortnick’s last night. I did this with a MOTU 24io straight out of the FOH console into Cubase SX3 and then remixed at home.
