It has been my distinct pleasure and honor to have served as Middletown’s Music Ambassador over the past two years. Having received the honor in the town I was born in has lifted my spirits and pride in my work in music here, and has made me feel much more a part of our creative community. All of our past music ambassadors (Rani Arbo, Dave Downs, Jay Hoggard, Kitty Kathryn, Terry Woolard, Neely Bruce, Randy Moses & his group, The House Of Moses) are true treasures to our town and community. I have had the honor to have worked with each and every one of them over the years through my studio. The 2024 Music Ambassador has been announced, and is a perfect choice and well deserved. I have worked with this guy as well! Ladies & Gentlemen, please welcome musician, entertainer & composer, Sam Vinci. Congratulations Sam!

A sweet melodie my ears do hear 🌞 on this warm sunny day 🎶

Let’s jazz it up 🎶

Don’t be cruel, to a ♥️ that’s true..

Sweet-sounding MOTO laying it down live this past Saturday www.facebook.com/pages/Moto/187057851354331

Working on a very special in-house project this evening..

Transferring multitracks from days gone by at The Coffeehouse this evening, utilizing our new Buick transfer station. In this case, we're transferring 3 ADAT tapes (24 tracks/48k/16bit) directly to thumb drive as mono .wav files. It's like a time machine!

Our beloved Mackie d8b mixing console recently took a trip to Manhattan to visit DBm Pro Audio Services for a much needed tune-up, under the expertise of Chief Audio Technician Alberto Santamaria and Owner / General Manager Steve Dwork. Alberto is without question the most knowledgeable tech on the East coast when it comes to d8b's. They did a fantastic job bringing back the console to better than new specs, and we at The Coffeehouse couldn't be more pleased. And to all our Facebook friends and clients who said a little prayer for our d8b and offered their support while the console was briefly laid up - thank you <3
