Nova Records Kronos Quartet
Wow. It's just
getting better and better. Nova Music Productions was recently
selected to record the world-famous Kronos Quartet live in
concert at the U of A Centennial Hall on Friday, March 26. San
Francisco's Kronos melds a stunning multi-media visual show to
incredible material, tone, and technique, bringing classical
music firmly into the new milennium. Nova also recorded Kronos
earlier in the day during a live filming of their upcoming
"Sun Rings" Video. A big thank you to Scott Fraser and
all the KQ organization.
Sons of the Pioneers
record with Nova Studios!
You know
you've heard them sing "Tumbling Tumbleweeds"
many times. Legendary vocal group The Sons of the
Pioneers brought their timeless classic Western
sound to Tucson for a recording session led by Nashville
Producer Stan Corliss. It was truly an honor to work
with these terrific talented gentlemen. I literally got chills up
my spine hearing their world-renowned blend of vocal harmony in
person. You can catch them live on stage this
winter at the Hidden Valley Inn. To
Dale, Gary, Randy, and Ken - the honor was truly
mine.

Singer's Workshop
graduates place high in "American Idol' competition
Several recent graduates of Nova Music Productions' Star
Singer's Recording Workshop have advanced in open competitions
against other top-notch singers from all over the United States.
Dario (call him "D") Di Conchea appeared in American
Idol 1 and was flown to LA to be taped for an upcoming
episode of American Idol 2. Thanks in part to his training
and recording here at Nova, "D" has offers from record
labels and management agencies. His great looks, smooth, sexy
R&B sounds, and unyielding drive to succeed give him a great
chance to go all the way.
Marie Brantley is showing a promising future as an
up-and-coming C&W singer. Her powerful voice has earned her
finalist status in the ongoing C&W oriented talent search at
Chuy's. Another Star Singer's Workshop graduate, Lorenzo
Alvarado, finished in the top third at the competition held
at the Ava Amphitheatre at Casino Del Sol. Marie and D also
finished in the top third the same night, meaning all 3 workshop
graduates are on their way to bigger and brighter singing
careers. Congratulations to all!
