WombatStudio.Org worked with Ever/After to engineer, mix and master their full-length CD. Ever/After is a recording project comprised of guitarist Reggie Wu (Heavens Edge) and drummer Jim Drnec (Dead End Kids, Cinderella, Network). Also, David “Wombat” Pierron received producer credit along with Reggie Wu and Jim Drnec. Additionally features Buddy Cash (Hyde Your Daughters) on bass and Colorado vocalist Chris Thomas (Omniism).
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.
