THIS WILL TAKE YOU TO OUR MAIN INDIE SITE!!!Sometimes music reaches beyond definition, stretches us without placing demands. Silverwoodstudio creates the sound of now. An eclectic blend of contemporary and classic presents itself as an unexpected parcel that invites the listener to peel away as many layers as they choose. Whether you explore the depths, or prefer to lightly skim the surface, these diverse and talented musicians and studio artists will rise to to meet you.Frontman Leo Haszard (Nelson) heads a group of diverse and talented performers, the core a threesome of family/whanau made up of Leo, his brother Jake Gabriel (West Coast) and father Rob Barrer (Marlborough). Rob has been actively involved in the creation of original music and performance art for over three decades. He recognised a talent in his sons, and although geographically distant, the three were drawn together by their passion for real and exploratory sound. Other featured artists include Lori Asquith, Ana Iti, Hannible, Phil Knapp and Robbie Reedy.Silverwoodstudio is more than a band, although they perform live at various events. Silverwoodstudio is a concept, founded on traditions of deep musical roots, encompassing folk, blues and soul, fusing into country and rock, and tempered by diverse multi-cultural influences.Each artist contributes from their own strengths and experience, ranging from self-taught through to formalised music training. They combine vocal, acoustic and primal sound with electronic and computerised instrumentation, using fusion to meld together a range of musical genres that refuse to be conveniently labelled.In a world bursting with over-produced and pre-packaged music, Silverwoodstudio takes a step sideways. Their music has a message, and the message is Listen. You, the listener, decide. Don't be force-fed, processed, consumer-research based sounds, designed for mass consumption. Those days are over, the technology of now offers you individual choice. Independent music has experienced a groundswell of support and the people have spoken.Silverwoodstudio had 3 number one hits on the Cashbox Magazine charts in 2007, and went on to take a hat-trick of Golden Kayaks in the annual online Indie awards for the Independent Artist Company & Cashbox Magazine, drawing an audience of 87,000 listeners on Sunday 6th April 2008. Indie music is for bands that are not signed to Major labels, and can be found all over the internet on sites like: Myspace, itunes and iacmusic.com
