FingerLakes can work with you wherever you are. On-site
recording doesn't even have to be local! Here are two audio examples from the acoustic-trad group Sweet Sunny South out in
Colorado. Our very first collaborative effort proved we're onto
something good:
Here's what group leader Rob Miller had to say; "It’s
perfect – sssssssssounds great!". That's
the sort of awareness we can bring to your project.
Marcia Rutledge
The soul of a jazz chanteuse is very much alive and well in the heart
of Marcia Rutledge, who caresses each performance with intimacy,
wit and exquisite detail. Here she was captured "Live at Kettles
Lakes".

"I have worked with Mr.
Grunwell on two separate recording projects. In the studio I
found him to present a supportive, professional environment that was
instrumental in the production of a superior product. For my
live room recording, Al managed to be ever present, yet unobtrusive,
and was right-on with his choice of state-of-the-art technology in a
challenging room. I wholeheartedly recommend Al for studio and
live recordings for fairly priced, all around great results."
Dennis King
Our clients do become part of our extended
recording family. Dennis King travels a couple of hours in order
to get the
FINGERLAKES sound into his project, best described as appropriate
and supportive for whatever the clients' vision entails.
In this case Dennis King likes the energy he gets from a
live performance, enhanced and enlarged by overdubbing.
"The songs sound great, I am really enjoying
them", comments Dennis upon hearing the finished mixes.
reVel is a heavy three-piece that
played and recorded live at Al's former studio, Marsland
recording. The lead vocal was subsequently replaced, and
occasionally a second guitar added, but pretty much what you hear
is what you get with these guys. The band recently did quite well
in a regional competition. Visit them at www.reVeltheband.com .

Lise Winne
Some of our clients prefer to link
to their own sites, rather than include a clip here. Lise Winnes'
expressive soprano perfectly infuses her music with something we
call 'contemporary authenticity'. Her experience with Al:
"A good deal of the albums
that come out of Al Grunwell's studio have a shimmering quality
to them. While they often have a warm analog feeling to them,
they are made with the latest digital equipment. Vocalists can
be especially pleased with the results as he not only stays true
to the tonal qualities of a singer, but also mixes to bring out
the emotive feeling in the overall song, something that many
engineers forget in their quest to achieve the highest form of
technical mastery. Dapper and eccentric, Al is also fun to work
with."

Al Miele
Al Miele is Binghamtons' premier
drummer. Whether playing in bands, in the studio, or in a new
production of 'The Wall" - Al is the go-to guy. So when he
wanted to try something new on his own - recording
acoustically-played (NOT played and sampled) techno/rave
song-length grooves at 160+ bpm- Al came to Al:
"The track turned out bright,
punchy and crunchy - perfect for club play - and all the effects
that Al (the engineer) used, I (Al the drummer) can add
live. I can't wait to do more !"
Los Blancos is a rootsy blues group
from Syracuse. When they were thinking of doing a live album, they
talked to Charlie about recording some of their live shows and
compiling the best of the shows into a live CD. The project went
beautifully with Charlie recording 3 of their shows and coming up
with a great final product. This audio clip shows the live energy
of the band and how it was captured:
