The above picture, is a very nice photo bomb by the guy behind me on my left (your right) at Fort Knox Studios (@fortknoxstudios) which is a well hidden, nicely located, well equipped, & pristine facility.
Both of our goofy smiles depict the pure glee shared by the majority of the artists that I talked to during CDbaby's (@cdbaby) Chicago visit.
I met guitarists, producers, vocalists... & the like.
All side conversations abruptly came to an end when keynote speaker and highlight of the evening Kevin Breuner entered the room & checked the mic. Mr. Breuner clearly spoke on the integrity of the CDbaby brand in a way that communicated that they are a team of nice guys. After a few ice breakers, he opened the floor for questions, comments, & concerns. The in-depth dialogue was great. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was that he noted that there is a lack of artist & music exposure in Chicago which is the reason why CDbaby chose to host the artist meet up here. Very cool night with down to earth people.
Below is a juiced up "USsie" that I took in an effort to polarize my nostalgia.
Directly to his left you see Kevin Breuner
To his left is Chandler Coyle
