Hey friends! Checking in here with a quick update about the studio. It's been a strange season for all of us and we're grateful for everyone's patience and kindess during this time.

We still don't have access to the studio at this time to assess the damage to the instruments and equipment from the flood. We do know there was water in the studio.

If you would like to help, our parent charity Kings Kids Promotions is asking for donations today on to support the recovery of the studio and other community initiatives. It's a difficult time for everyone right now and we really appreciate the support.

Thanks and stay safe! Hopefully we will get to see each other again soon.

It’s been so fun working with two local legends getting vocal guides ready to go for some new music from Shantelle Davidson with some really lovely work on the acoustic guitar by Dan Gillies.

The Guitar Maintenance Workshop with Campbell's Music and was a big success! The sold out workshop saw local musicians work hands on with guitar tech Scott Meller to talk about instrument care, hydration, string changes, truss rod adjustments and more! Over the course of the day we were able to change strings and maintain almost the entire inventory of guitars and basses for the Fort McMurray Composite High School music program with the help of D'Addario Canada. A big thanks to everyone involved!
