Rachel Svatos (Dallas, TX) has been on-set of the webseries
Roomers and the movie
Saving the Tin Man every day for the past two weeks. Is she tired? Yes! But also says she knows she’ll miss it when the shoot is over. The hands-on experience is enabling her to learn a ton!

Tim Barry

Tim Barry (Westfield, MA) just finalized a collaboration with hip-hop producer Eric G and is doing a great job of connecting with key players in the world of music by doing the work and staying true, cool, and enthused. Next up, a track for the
Hashassins with a jazzy vibe and old school drums. Other than that, Tim’s working hard to take his mixing and production skills up to the next level. We know he’ll get there soon.

Charlie Griggs

Charlie Griggs (Royal, AR) is getting into the mix under the direction of his mentor Randy McDonald. The two tracks a full of instrumentation including a drum kit with six tracks, bass, two rhythm guitars, two lead guitars, a fiddle, a steel guitar, as well as lead and harmony vocals.
