Chris Machete just posted something on Facebook about Chuck Calibre, it reminded me that I have these demo tracks buried on my computer drive, so let's pull them up and have a listen...fun stuff.

Nice as Hell - Chuck Calibre

The Fields of Athenry - Nothin' Serious

I played bass in this group, we wrote some good stuff together. Shame it just never found any legs.

Down with it - Wisewood

an excellent example of the kind of texture I like to create in a recording. The Band was called Awkward Silence. John Willis was the vocalist and one of my high school band mates.

We Live On - Awkward Silence

Back Attack - Dead Silence

I wrote this song for the Troop Christmas CD in support of the Canadian military members who are serving overseas. Merry Christmas and Happy Solstice.

Solstice Song - Uncle Buzz

I met Terry in a chance meeting through my friend Patrick Holder, and we hit it off. I said I wanted to produce something for him and he told me he needed someone to help mix and master his latest album. I think it turned out pretty good

To Whom It May Concern - Terry Draper

Trying to love someone who can't love you back is brutal,  letting it happen when you're old enough to know better is just foolish.

Old Fool

A track I produced for Mr. Machete. Great big soaring guitars on this one.

Can't Win For Losing - Mr Machete

one of my old bands that didn't go far, but had some real chemistry.

Autumn Leaves - Wisewood

one of my favourites to play live, this one really gets cooking.

Finnegan'sWake

Just me singing the Sweet Home Alabama of Celtic songs.

Whiskey in the Jar

Mick Maguire - Nothin' Serious featuring  Uncle Buzz

One of my Canadian Celtic mandolin tunes.

Stones in Your Shoes - Uncle Buzz demo

I think we recorded this demo after we finished the "Stuff" CD, have to check my production notes. The was during pre-production of the Clawspunk CD. Still my favourite Mr. Machete Track I think. Either this or Raw Assumption.

Slow - Mr. Machete

I engineered and played bass on this... played with the reverbs on this a lot; fun little project.

No Surprise - Sterling James

A good song about a good ship. I recorded this with my former group Nothin' Serious which became Coast to Coast. Lead Vocal by John MacAdam. Dave Armstrong on bass and backing vocals, Gary Rogers on squeezebox, Robbie Duffus on percussion and myself on mandolin and  backing vocals

Irish Rover - Nothin' Serious (remastered)

We did this in a warehouse in Markham, Ontario. Just rolled in my tape deck and mixing desk set up some mics and away we went. Fun session.

Creation - Hybrid Radio

Here are some samples of projects I've produced over the years

The Buzzworks Music Production
