Rep Power: 0  | record a song for free (NOT a scam) Hey Gulf Coast Bands, For those who don't know me, I'm Chris Mara. I've been a (full time) freelance rock engineer for over 10 years, and recently opened my own studio geared specifically for the independent artist. (You can check it out at www.myspace.com/welcometo1979 , and check me out at www.chrismara.com ) Having my own place has been great, and I'm looking at many things with a fresh perspective. One thing I want to do with my studio is to start giving some things back to the people that helped me get into music in the first place. So here's the deal: Send me an email at cym@mindspring.com requesting an application form to record one song across one day at my studio- the only thing I ask is that you give a charitable donation to a high school music program of my choice. (the size of the donation is up to you) This is my own little "save the music" program. The application is simple and short- mainly to have it on file to make sure that your band is complete and able to record, and to cut down on duplicate applicants. I plan to give away one free song recording per month, and I have posted this same post in 5 different cities. (All bands going into the same drawing for the free song each month) This way, together we can help schools continue to introduce kids to music each month! Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested, I'm trying to squeeze in a May drawing, so hurry! Chris Mara Nashville, TN cym@mindspring.com www.chrismara.com www.myspace.com/chrismara www.myspace.com/welcometo1979

Rep Power: 0 | i've had GREAT response so far on this..but not as many from GCB as i have from other messageboards i posted on....what's the deal with you guys???? this is a no brainer! i and am going to take some time this week to plan out which band will be chosen for which month for the rest of the year, so if you're interested and still haven't gotten an application from me (or haven't gotten it back to me) don't delay! hit me up at cym@mindspring.com and request an app- it only will take you 20 seconds to fill out. each band selected will receive a tax-deductible receipt too- so its win/win! -chris mara ps- check out the new piece of "gear" i just bought for the studio on my blog at www.myspace.com/welcometo1979 !!
