Who's in the Studio

 Conspirare
is releasing a very special recording, Angel Be. This is a collection
of live recordings with Cynthia Clawson and Craig Hella Johnson.
These recordings were engineered by John Stinson, founder of TRCoA
and Stinson Studios. Cynthia Clawson has been singing the gospel
for more than four decades. Called “The most awesome voice
in gospel music” by Billboard Magazine, she has received a
GRAMMY and five Dove Awards for her work. Craig Hella Johnson has
earned a reputation as one of the most influential choral conductors
in the United States as Founding Artistic Director of the critically
acclaimed choral group Conspirare. Under Johnson’s leadership,
Conspirare has been the recipient of three NEA grants, two GRAMMY
nominations for its most recent recording, Requiem, and was awarded
the 2005 Margaret Hillis Award For Choral Excellence.

Be sure to attend Conspirare's Christmas at the
Carillon, a cherished Austin holiday tradition. Held during the
week of Dec. 5 - 11, Conspirare always creates a unique program
each year. See the Conspirare
site for more details.
Scott Harris and She Craves
 She
Craves is in the studio working with Scott Harris, from BigBang
Music and a TRCoA Advanced Music Production student. Formed
in 2007, She Craves has developed a strong following; their anthemic
choruses and smartly crafted hooks are hallmarks of the band's sound,
as are live shows that teeter on the edge of control as the band
churns through their set with unrelenting energy and force. She
Craves is fronted by Christine Ely, guitarist Matt Cole, drummer
Ben Mills, and bassist Tim Brown.
Listen to a clip of Jenny from She Craves.
Josh Woodhouse and Larry Hilliard
TRCoA alumni Josh Woodhouse from Droplink
Productions is working with alt-country artist Larry
Hilliard. Droplink Productions and Larry Hilliard worked together
producing a 2006 release. When it came time to track the next recording,
Larry approached Droplink Productions to help produce the recording.

Ramos (Los Lonely Boys, John Mellancamp). Casey Just (Casey Just
and the Phsycophonics, Casey Just). Travis Woodard (Gene Pool),
and Craig Lawrence (Travis Damron and Cutlass Supreme).
Listen to a clip of music Larry and Josh are working
