    • Gary likes to create a comfortable atmosphere for the musical magic to happen. “There’s nothing like starting with a blank slate and then hearing a great song come to life”. He is known for going the extra mile to set the vibe of each session. Gary always encourages the musicians to put out their finest performance possible. Although the tracks being recorded have to be first class, he believes that the musicians shouldn’t have to get bogged down with the technical aspects of what he is doing to capture their performance.

    Attention Dayton Rock fans! Go see Orange Willard and see the high energy new sound they are making. They have a new album coming out (with a track with your's truly playing sax) and are leading the way in the Dayton Band Playoffs. So if you like to rock, make sure you get out and see this band thats just bustin at the seams with heat.
