This Ain’t Politics As Usual!

Election season is upon us once again, and it’s shaping up to be a doozy! Between the caucuses and primaries – not to mention the late-night Twitter wars amongst the candidates – there’s a lot going on and a lot to cover. That’s why we’re so excited to announce our latest offering: Decision 2016. This market exclusive music package includes four sonically-branded themes for promo and in-show use, as well […]

Hello, Holiday Season!

I think it’s safe to say we are in holiday season mode. With Thanksgiving approaching next week, we are either giddy as a child or resentful as Scrooge. Thanksgiving has lost a bit of its historical meaning and has evolved into an eating holiday, right? It’s still a beautiful thing – family and food. Just a reminder, if you are feeling a big nostalgic and want to add some historical […]

A Concert Maximus

Concerts. Let’s just say I’ve been to more than a few. From the symphony hall to the super-amplified arena, I’ve enjoyed many….well, most of them. Maximizing my concert experience is fraught with obstacles, but the big arenas try to make up for it. I stand in line to enter the venue, in line for beer and nachos, in line at the tee-shirt kiosk, and by this time I’ve finished my […]

It’s all in a [Sonic] Brand: Revisiting 1970s Sports Branding in Broadcast Television

Working for The World Leader in Sonic Branding™ means I’m well versed in the Pavlovian effect music has on the human brain. Which is a fancy way of saying that as a mega sports fan, I know that when I hear this: …I’m ready for some Football! That, of course, is Sonic Branding: Being able to identify something – anything – based only on the music or notes associated […]

With excitement and intrigue, they ask, “Oh, you’re a musician?” I anticipate the big […]

Listen. Enter. Win! It’s a Resonator Guitar Giveaway

Okay, here’s your chance to win one of the coolest guitars from Stephen’s personal collection – his 2007 Dean Chrome and Gold Acoustic-Electric Resonator! This axe, one of Stephen’s favorites, is more of a hybrid than anything. You have the sound & tone of a true resonator, but the playability and upper neck access of an electric or really great acoustic guitar. It has a magnetic “lipstick” pickup and a […]

Would you work for free? Pro Sports vs Pro Music

Would Peyton Manning or Richard Sherman play football during intermission of a Bruno Mars concert for free? Because that’s exactly what Bruno did at their game a couple of weeks ago… Bruno Mars is at the top of his game. His second album, Unorthodox Jukebox, is at the top of the charts (as was his first). In just three years, five of his songs have reached number one…. Forbes ranked him number […]
