Well respected local artist whose band Trigger Gospel has garnered much press had Doug McBride mix and master her new album “The Contender” Featuring guest appearances from many of the cities top players.

This CD features 13 talented singer songwriters who all happen to attend the same small church downtown. The rather remarkable performances span many genres yet still share the same spirit. Co-produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Doug.

What started as one day tracking one song turned into an eight song EP. These guys are young, but incredibly talented. Deeply moody and pulling influence from Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, U2 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Soundscape EP blurs the lines between alt-rock and pop. Engineered and mixed by Joseph Peven, and Mastered by Doug McBride it is worth checking out.
