Academy Member Friends!

I don’t usually do stuff like this, but a children’s record I recorded and mixed has been submitted for first round Grammy voting in the “Best Children’s Music Album” category. If you’re so inclined, go take a listen and vote if you think it’s worthy of a nomination.

“Music Grows on Trees” from Melinda Sullivan and Larry Goldings is a fantastic collection of well-written, whimsical songs for children all performed by incredibly talented musicians and singers…. With some very special guests appearances throughout.

Produced by Sheldon Gomberg, Larry Goldings, and Melinda Sullivan, recorded and mixed by me, and mastered at Lurrsen Mastering.

Even if you’re not in the academy and want to give it a listen, please do - I’m quite proud of this… quite a departure from what I normally do.
