Howard Livingston and Mile Marker 24 in the studio!!!

Hello there, its  another beautiful day of Nashville recording here at 16 Ton Studios! Well folks, in our last blog the nice weather that has recently given a warm brush to our fair city was mentioned; a fitting segway to today’s blog as the warm sunny glow of Howard Livingston and Mile Marker 24 have arrived again here at 16 Ton Studios from the Florida Keys to do another awesome TropRock album! And since we’re digging back into our blog catalogue, you may also remember reading about Howard in a previous post  as his last album ‘I’m Living On An Island’ won several awards at the TropRock Music awards including: Song of the Year (I’m Living On An Island), Album of the Year (I’m Living On An Island), Band of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year!! We are so excited to have Howard and his band back at 16 Ton for their 5th album with us, and this session is turning into another stellar TropRock record! The songs are amazing and sure to put a smile on your face, a warm glow in your day, and maybe even a nice Rum drink in your hand! Today we finished cutting the percussion tracks which include marimba, steel drum, and conga (among other additions) and are layering beautifully over the acoustic guitar, electric, bass, and drum tracks. Tomorrow comes horns, B3 Hammond organ, and background vocals, all laying a perfect bedding for Howard’s rich, soothing voice. All-in-all it has been a great week so far with more to come, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! We predict the TropRock Awards may be asking Howard and Mile Marker 24 back again next year!
