IIn November, we had a super fun last minute session with folk-rock supergroup, The Emerald Triangle.

The band had a night off from their tour and wanted to document their set. We just happened to be in between two sessions and were able to squeeze them in at the last minute. Thom Monahan and Bryce engineered the live to Pro Tools session. After I helped set up a few mics, I cooked everybody a pasta and salad dinner. After dinner and a few bottles of red, the band got down to business.
