STRING BREAKIN' RECORDS

About Me

History: it was shortly after the recording of Kristi Johnston, july of 1998 , that Stringbreakin' Records got started . the label was started by John Scoles, he was the bass player on the first Kristi Johnston cd. the label never did anything for a few years until John hired me (Len Milne) again to record some live music down at the club, Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club located at 234 Main st. in Winnipeg. while i was recording at the club i asked John if he was interested in starting up the label again , so we did. to our surprise the cd ,Winnipeg:The High& Lonesome Years(vol.1) that we were working on was not the second cd to come out on the label but the Rowdymen's Rowdy Duty . this was done from there one night of recording down at the club. we asked them if they wanted to use our label and they did. so yet another inde label is born. One closing statement, all of the recordings for this label are mixed at BEDSIDE STUDIO and are recorded there or LIVE at the TIMES CHANGE(D) HIGH & LONESOME CLUB. thanks, Len Milne
