Josh Nussbaum Saves The Day!

March 13, 2017

Studio Jams was in a jam. Producer Tom Emmi was ready to film Episode #73 in Studio A at Forge Recording. In place were saxophonist Andrew Neu, bassist Jonathan Smith, pianist Jason Long, drummer Dave Hanlon, and the film crew. But with no guitar player the session was about to be scrapped. Fortunately, guitarist Josh Nussbaum was teaching a songwriting lesson in The Academy at Forge Recording and jumped in to save the day!

Hear what Jonathan Fishman (Phish), and his childhood instructor, Dave Hanlon (Dave Hanlon’s Cookbook), have to say about Forge Recording.

While filming a Studio Jams session, Fishman and Hanlon were asked their opinions about Forge Recording. Without giving away too much, they did say “gorgeous,” “first-class studio” and “the kind of place you could camp out in for awhile.”

Here is a track from their Studio Jams session.

And an interview from syracuse.com.

Read the article from Syracuse.com. See the recording session on Studio Jams in the near future.
