Three special recording/mixing session dates are coming up Nov. 26th, 2013 plus Dec. 3rd and Dec. 4th featuring some musicians who are regular members of Billboard charting country artist’s bands. Tracking and overdubs are on tap the first two days, mixing the last.
Jenee Fleenor, the backup singer and fiddle player who plays for hit recording artist Blake Shelton has confirmed. Blake Shelton’s Mine Would Be You is currently the #2 song on the Country Billboard charts.
Jenee also plays regularly for Martina McBride.
William Ellis, drummer for Montgomery Gentry will also be on board. We’ll also be recording bass guitar and guitar.
If you’d like to get a song or two in on this event, or even attend the session to watch your song get tracked and meet the musicians, simply e-mail nashtrax@bellsouth.net and let us know how many songs you want to include. We’ll promptly reply with the cost. 25% down will secure your slot but all remaining fees must be paid in full, in cash, by first downbeat. There’s room, we’ll work all night if necessary.
Update 11-26-13. 6:00 p.m. We tracked multiple songs today starting at 10 a.m. after which every part was backed up to additional hard drives (we do 1 backup as we record). Long day but the tracks sound great so far, we’re looking forward to the next session!

Now Tracking : Two Demos For A Client In England
Posted: November 1, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Blake Shelton, Forever & Me, full band demo, Jenee Fleenor, Santa Fe Leave a commentTwo songs in today from “across the pond.”
Both are by a working musician from England named Charlie Kelland. “Santa Fe” is an uptempo country tune that’s getting the full band demo treatment. The original rough sounds like a song playing in a 1960’s western movie so it needs updated. “Forever”is a piano/vocal/hand drum demo featuring a lot of soulful background vocals.
We just logged them in this morning so it will be a little while but I’ll post a finished demo of SF if Charlie allows.
Update 12-12-13 Here’s Santa Fe produced in a modern country style with both fiddle and lead vocal by Jenee Fleenor who plays for country recording artist Blake Shelton:

Pro demos make everyone- friends, family, artists, record company A & R and music publishers- take notice. Have 3 or 4 pro demos to peddle and they’ll brand you as a pro-level songwriter every time you pitch them.
We would be thrilled to do that for you, simply drop an e-mail with your rough mp3 or mp4 attached to: nashtrax@bellsouth.net with the details of what you want and request a quote.
