Do you need a vocalist, custom drum programming, bass, a string bed, some orchestral work or a session drummer? We also specialize in acoustic guitar from strumming to artistic and complex finger picking. Maybe you're looking for some electric guitar for background ambient support, or rhythm guitar - funky, phat, edgy, folksy, rocky, country, or otherwise, or perhaps some melodious and intricate lead work? You decide - we would love to help you.
Our standard rate for most services is typically $70 hourly (2 hour minimum) or $65 per hour when booking 8 hour blocks. Package rates apply when booking your Demo, EP or Full Album project.
Composition, arrangement and production rates are different, just let us know your need.
