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.

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 […]

‘TIS THE SEASON for singing 400 various letters of the alphabet, for 100+ TV stations … and in many cases, cramming 20 lbs. of lyrics into a 5 lb. song.

The directive was to create a lively and playful soundtrack built on a driving pace that would underscore edited video and graphics. Golf Channel wanted a strong, organic music logo to anchor the package, so we came up with a four-note hook. The music incorporates […]

In the creative process with the network, […]
