Found Wandering’s “On A Christmas Night” #2 on Billboard Bluegrass charts

December 17, 2015

Found Wandering’s holiday album, “On a Christmas Night” charted #2 on Billboard’s Bluegrass charts this past week. The band’s album charted second only to Steve Martin & Edie Brickell’s album, “So Familiar.”

The chart position follows a national TV appearance on Fox’s “After the Show Show,” which can be viewed below. “On A Christmas Night” was recorded here at Forge, engineered and mixed by Ron DiSilvestro.

Found Wandering will perform this Sunday, December 20th at their 5th annual Christmas benefit show in Narberth, PA. Proceeds benefit Sunday Breakfast Mission, an organization that helps the homeless in Philadelphia. Forge will also be there to record the show.

Gospel sounds of the Robert Ladson Ensemble

November 13, 2015

Gospel artist Robert Ladson brought in his entire ensemble for a 12+ hour day of recording in Studio A. Starting with the instrumental tracks (drums, bass, Hammond B3, grand piano) which were recorded live, we then reset the room to accommodate Robert’s 20+ voice choir. We split up the live room into sections, recording the sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses in different parts of the room. We also put two of our prized Neumann U87 microphones about 20 feet up in the air. The objective was to capture the sound of each section as well as the blend of all voices. The results were excellent, and we enjoyed having everyone that day.

Found Wandering on national TV, bestseller on Amazon, Christmas album in the works

September 23, 2015

Found Wandering reached national audiences on August 29th when they appeared on the “After the Show Show” segment on FOX News. See the performance below.

Viewers seemed to like what they heard as the band quickly rose in rankings, becoming the #1 album on Amazon in the “folk,” “gospel,” and “country” categories!

Building on their self-titled album recorded at Forge Recording with Ron DiSilvestro, Found Wandering has returned to the studio to record a Christmas album. They’ve been working with Ron for the last couple of weeks to finalize the tracking stage of the project. We even cranked up the AC a little to get everyone in the holiday spirit during the dog days of summer.

Here are some photos from their recent sessions recording an upcoming Christmas album.
