Artists/Clients on the Web

Uptown (jazz/pop)
This is the jazz/pop band that Mike plays in, and the whole "Coverage" CD was recorded right here.
Pam Shuler
Link to: Pam Shuler
Forever's Been Lost (metal)
Hardcore metal guys with a killer sound--not for the fainthearted!

Music Retailers

Chain-O-Lakes Guitar
Local guitar shop in Waupaca that I frequent, and that shares the same name as the studio!

Resources for Independent Musicians

CD Baby
I think this is the ultimate resource for independent musicians trying to market their music on the internet. It is extremely musician-friendly, and the quality is very high.
Hostbaby
If you are an artist looking to build a good usable website, check here first! It's owned by CD Baby, which already has my full endorsement. For example, Hostbaby hosts the studio website you are in right now!
TAXI
Connect with the right Music Publisher and they can place your songs with major artists, films and TV shows. Find out how TAXI can help.



Discmakers
For artists looking for the full-blown "turnkey" professional CD duplication package, this is the place to check. I have used their services more than once and have always been very impressed.
Diskfaktory
A less expensive alternative to Discmakers, but also very good. You just have to do more of the prep work yourself.
Addicted to Songwriting
Find excellent tips on how to write a song, plus interviews with hit songwriters and other great articles at Addicted to Songwriting.



ProductionHUB
A guide, directory and jobs for film and video. If your interests exend into the area of film, television, or video production, and you are looking for appropriate business connections, check this one out.

Artists I Know (the "name-dropping" category)

Tim Dorsey & Dorsey Entertainment
Entertainment booking agency in the Fox Valley, owned by Tim and Teri Dorsey. Tim is a great performer with his own studio (I'm probably not supposed to tell you that), and we have worked together on many projects over the last couple years.
Janet Planet
One of the best jazz vocalists around, a performance mentor to my wife Monica, and a great person to work with.
Greg Koch
An old college buddy, Greg is a blazing rock-blues guitar player that is developing an international reputation as a virtuoso guitarist, clinician, and teacher. One of my favorite guitarists!
River Cities Jazz
I was one of the original members of this Stevens Point big band, and played with them for over five years (but I've since retired).
