12 Bar Productions Links - A St Louis Recording Studio

Here are a few of the sites around the web that we recommend. Click on the name to visit their site.

SKIP SAYLOR RECORDING COMPANY, INC. is a world class recording and mix facility, originally located in the Hollywood area and now operating in the San Fernando Valley.

At the end of the 1960s, Supe aimed his car and his life in a southwesterly direction from his St. Louis home, and a couple hundred miles on I-44 later arrived in Springfield, Missouri, his home for the next twenty years. There he found a common vibe among a coterie of musicians who in 1971 formed the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. The group's self-titled debut on A&M Records was produced by Glyn Johns (The Who, Rolling Stones) and spawned a Top 30 hit in "If You Want to Get to Heaven."

The Daredevils recorded their follow up, It'll Shine When It Shines, which produced a #1 song in "Jackie Blue," still a staple of classic rock radio.

With 'Save Yourself" Drew brought to the world his soulful and funky take on rock and pop and a lyrical style that is known to be clever and catchy. His newest album "Some Assembly Required" is destined to go to the top of the charts, with such tunes as "Another Planet".

Drew is also an artist who gives back. He is starting a non-profit organization that receives 20% of the revenues from all his record sales. Those funds will be sued to support charitable organizations that are making a difference in the lives of citizens of Third World countries!

Folk’n BluesGrass started in February 2005 on a whim. Brian was playing his regular gig every Saturday night at the Broadway Oyster Bar when Steve came down to sit in on mandolin, which he’d only been playing for less than a year. Steve invited Travis, with whom he’d been playing in another band. Right then and there, Folk’n BluesGrass was created. They went to Davenport, IA to play a gig at Mojo’s at the River Music Experience and then to Café Paradiso in Fairfield, IA. The rest, as they say, is history.
