Make your own Banner Here!
Well, 2007 was a banner year for us and 2008 is already shaping up to be even more amazing. 12 Bar has signed some amazing acts to the label, recorded some of the best talent in the Midwest .... and hosted some real celebrities, as well. And, we’ve made some real strides in getting a strong catalog of songs into the hands of music directors and television music supervisors. The first two weeks of 2008, we have already been approached by seven bands who are looking to record albums this year, five singer/songwriters who are looking for publishing, and many folks who just want to get some demos put together of some of their material. THE MORE PASSIONATE ARTISTS GET ABOUT THEIR MUSIC, THE MORE THEY TURN TO 12 BAR!!!The first few months of 2008 holds many exciting events for us. Drew Mantia’s (myspace.com/drewmantia) album will be released around June 1, The Gloaming’s (myspace.com/thegloamingrocks) new album will be released around June 1, as well. And be prepared for the summer tour schedule for these artists. On April 14, we will be recording a full-length album for "Relation" - one of the most fun and talented cover/dance bands in the St. Louis area, and we start recording a new album in early summer for John Frischer and the Squares, along with several other projects that we’ve eluded to above. So, look out world. The St. Louis music scene is growing and comin’ to get ya!!!
We are really stoked to let everyone know that we were host to SKIP SAYLOR for several weeks in 2007. Skip is a very well known LA Producer/Engineer/Studio Owner. He has been involved ... in one way or another ... with such multi-platinum projects as Guns ’n’ Roses "Use Your Illusion 1 and 2", k.d.lang’s "Constant Cravings", Eminem’s "Slim Shady", Eddie Money’s "If I Could Walk On Water", and dozens of others. One look at the central hallway at his San Fernando Valley studio gives you a clue as to how many Gold and Platinum projects he’s been a part of.
On Monday, October 21st Mike Rowe from the hit Discover Channel show Dirty Jobs came into 12 Bar to do some voice overs for the show. He was in St.Louis to film a Dirty Jobs episode down on the riverfront. We had a great time working with Mike, and were honored when he picked 12 Bar to work with. There are pictures in our pics link.
