This is The Place (really) – The Station Summit Conference!

Most trade shows, no matter the industry, can be summed up in a handful of trite sales adages: “Putting a Name with a Face”, “Meeting and Greeting”, “Distinguishing Yourself from the Competition”, “Enhancing Company Awareness” and finally “Selling the Sizzle not the Steak” (maybe not so much the last one, but I heard that line once and I’ve always wanted to use it). For us, the second annual PromaxBDA Station […]

Are You Ready for Some Football Music?

Super Bowl XLVI is fast approaching. February 5th. 11 days away… That means 3 things: great football, million dollar ads and MUSIC. For us in Dallas, the Super Bowl is something of a mirage these days (even if it was at Jerry World last year). This wasn’t the case in the 90’s. The ‘Boys, led by the Triplets (Troy, Emmitt and Michael) won 3 SB’s. But, with just 1 playoff […]

Christmas Faves, Then and Now

The “Arts” always come out in full bloom at year’s end. We all have our favorite, iconic holiday book/film/play/TV show, maybe even a favorite toy, and last but not least, favorite Christmas song or carol. Since I was a kid, some of those iconic holiday classics have been replaced — a change made ever more apparent as the father of three young ones (although only one still young enough to […]

Stephen Arnold Music Scores Pacquiao-Marquez PPV Promo

To say the least, it’s an honor to be associated with the “best in the business”, or “pound for pound the world’s best”. In a roundabout way, that’s what’s happening this week here at the studio. This Saturday night on PPV, boxing’s pound for pound best, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao fights Juan Manual Marquez. This will be their third confrontation, the first ending in a draw and the second in a […]

Thinking ’bout Baseball

Helping catch baseball fever among American League champion Texas Rangers‘ fans is a brand new promo for our client KTVT CBS 11/TXA 21, featuring a track from The Vault called “Believe,” written by multiple Grammy nominated songwriter Greg Barnhill and produced by Stephen […]

“I Think I Saved This Guitars Life”

This is a prelude to our upcoming book – “A Story Of Six Strings,” which chronicles the history of Stephen Arnold Music through Stephen’s guitars, all of which were photographed on location throughout the western United States. Stephen: “I had always wanted a Fender Strat but never could afford one. The ‘69 strat was especially iconic, because that was the year Fender changed to a larger headstock and a U-shaped […]

Newsworthy Night at RTNDA’s Murrow Awards

RTDNA’s prestigious Edward R. Murrow Awards dinner was as good an excuse as any for our own Michael Finnegan and Noelle Alanis to don their best fancy duds and head to NYC’s Grand Hyatt to rub elbows with the media elite. In attendance were such heavy-hitters as NBC’s Brian Williams and Ann Curry, CBS’ Harry Smith, CNN’s John Roberts and MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann and Tamron Hall. Stephen Arnold Music proudly […]

Young Directors + South African Band = Cool Music Video

A few good friends of mine are burgeoning film directors in Cape Town, South Africa. I met them in Cairo and later worked with them on the music for Dorotea Vucic’s “Wamkelekile: Welcome Home,” an Oscar nominated short-film from the Western Cape. They recently sent me this, a music video for the South African band “Hot Water.” Claude and Daniel Morcos, “the Morcos Brothers” as they have been coined, directed […]

“…And all under heaven there is entire repose.”

All of us, by which I mean all people in general, are artists of sorts – we strive to become better at the things we love, whether that be songwriting or parenthood (or both), and we do so with such conviction that we are able to shake off the ever-present naysayers, those agents of cynicism who always manage to be standing on the street corner when we stumble by, whispering […]
