Who's in the Studio

Adam Hutchison with Quiet Company

Adam Hutchison, a TRCoA Beginning Audio Engineering student, is the studio with Quiet Company. Taylor, Thomas and Tim create piano-driven rock, loaded with infectious melodies. Influenced by The Beatles, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins and The Beach Boys, Quiet Company's latest release, Shine Honesty, has earned high praise from critics and fans. Listen to a clip from a song Quiet Company and Adam are working on.

Rusty Kotzur with Travis Linville

Rusty Kotzur, a TRCoA Beginning Audio Engineering student, is the studio with Travis Linville. The acoustic/folk sound Travis creates invokes the spirit of okie music. Linville seems to personify the Red Dirt sound with dazzling instrumentals and simple, heartfelt songwriting. Travis' work has earned him an extensive fan base and a great deal of respect from artists and venues in the music community. Listen to a clip from Travis Linville.

Scott Harris with Brennen Leigh

Scott Harris, a TRCoA Beginning Audio Engineering student, was in the studio with Brennen Leigh tracking a 12 song demo of solo guitar and vocal tracks to send to a California indie label. In just a few years, Brennen has firmly established herself as one of the Lone Star State's premiere singers and songwriters. Her approach is both astoundingly simple and wonderfully complex. Brennen's sound is an intoxicating blend of raw talent, wily wit and bittersweet heartbreak, all touched by an affecting, uncommon grace. Listen to a clip from Brennen Leigh.
