Paul Kneevers Sponsors Artist Recordings

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:00:56 +0000

Paul Kneevers (of the Analog Kitchen) is getting involved and helping to get the word out about ARTBEAT IN THE HEAT and Milwuakee Artbeat!!! He is donating his services to get the bands & artists quality recordings from this Saturday’s show, in the hopes that these recordings will be used to spread the word about Artbeat & our mission. He has a very special place in his heart for Artbeat… his dad was a music teacher at school, and he has been very blessed to be surrounded by music all his life. He will be multi-track recording the artists all day & night long, and then mixing these tracks after the show in order to provide high-quality live recordings of the bands.

“His services are valued at over $1,000… this is no small contribution, and we are very grateful to have him involved!” Annie B. is looking forward to having these recordings to work with to promote the organization and build more awareness for the talent we have around here!

Be sure to join us on Saturday, July 31st, and hoot & holler for the bands at the show! You’ll be caught on these recordings to create a very special memory for everyone!
