Annie and the Beekeepers vid “In the Water” from our friends at Benchmark and Masters From Their Day!

December 28, 2010 in Gear, Music, Updates, Video

Thanks to our friends at Benchmark for this cool video of Annie and the Beekeepers song “In the Water”. A trio of guitar/voice, cello and upright bass, these Berklee grads sound great, and even greater using Benchmark gear.

Music studios are catching on and in recent years Benchmark mic pres and converters are cropping up in studios across the country.  As an historically ‘engineering-driven’ company, Benchmark is realizing the power of the web so they’ve started a really cool video marketing series called “Masters From Their Day”.  You’ll see all of them here on TheK2BShow site or if you can’t stand the wait for each episode, check them all out at the Masters From Their Day website.

TheK2BShow helps Michigan Commission for the Blind!

October 12, 2010 in Updates

Recently TheK2BShow host, KennyKenny Bergle, travelled to Detroit to the studio of blind gospel musician Bruce Smith to setup and train him on ProTools and Ableton Live software and a Sweetwater Creation Station music computer.

This is an ongoing program by The Michigan Commission for the Blind, supporting audio production and music creation for its charges that are music- and production- oriented.  See more about the Commission here – http://www.vi-info-center.org/Page_19.html

Mike Ellis Enterprises, an audio and video production house that serves the blind community, is also integral in the Commission’s program and KennyKenny has been training the employees of M.E.E., Inc., for several years now.  Their website is here – https://www.meewebsite.com/Default.aspx

This is not the first time KennyKenny has been in Detroit on a training mission.  In 2008, he setup the Detroit branch of The Salvation Army’s recording studio and trained the workers there on how to run ProTools and various audio hardware.  See more about The Salvation Army and their mission here – http://www.salvationarmy.org/ihq/www_sa.nsf
