Engineering Nathan Hiltz “Samways”
Johnny’s in the studio again, this time behind the desk, engineering and co-producing Nathan Hiltz’s folk-jazz group Samways.
They’ve returned to the wonderful Noble Street Studios in Toronto to record.
Samways performs acoustic music with lyrics drawn from early Canadian poetry. Original folk inspired jazz, the music is composed and accompanied by guitarist Nathan Hiltz. The group features Toronto singers Shannon Butcher, Jessica Lalonde and Melissa Lauren – all successful musicians in their own rights, and a magical blend of textures together. The addition of Neil Macintosh on drums, Chris Banks on bass, and Mark Fewer on violin makes the live show irresistibly toe-tapping in its percussive and grooving nature.
"Noble Street is my favourite studio in Toronto. They've got all the toys...the great mics and gear...but most importantly the room sounds great! The staff are incredibly professional and very helpful, makes recording and working there are breeze!"
