Grammy News  2009-02-09 19:31:59

Hello Everyone,

Today we have a Grammy Update.  I was at the the Grammy Awards yesterday and saw a lot of great friends there.  In the afternoon they hold what is called the Pre-Telecast Program where they give out 100 awards.

The house band was filled with Session Pros Artists and a few who are signing up soon.

Our Artists in the band were Luis Conte - percussion, Jacques Voyemont - trombone, and Dwayne "Smitty" Smith - bass.  Both trumpet players - Ron King and Tony Bonsera are in the process of signing up and we're contacting the rest of the band to get on our roster as well.

The big news of the night (for me anyway) is that I (Session Pros co-founder and artist Billy Hulting) won a Grammy along with fellow Session Pros artists Aaron Arntz - keyboards, Scheila Gongalez - sax, flute, and keyboards, Pete Griffin - bass, and Jamie Kime - guitar in the "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" category for Zappa Plays Zappa's recording of Peaches en Regalia.  This is quite an honor considering we were up against Mettalica, Rush, Nine Inch Nails, and David Gilmour.

You can watch a vide of the entire Pre-Telecast Program at http://grammy.com/grammy_awards/GRAMMY_Live.aspx.  If you want to see the Zappa Plays Zappa segment - fast forward to 2:53 - it takes place in the last ten minutes of the three hour broadcast.  But - also check out the great hose band they had on stage!

Our First Blog entry  2009-01-29 17:56:27

Hey Everyone,

 

Today we start our Session Pros Blog.  We've recently uploaded our first video interview check it out on the video page.  We started with Herman Matthews.  He's a blast on video and a great drummer.  Since we've put Herman up there we are getting requests from our other artists (especially drummers) to do interviews so keep a lookout for those in the future.  Is there anyone on our roster you'd like to see an interview of?  Let us know.  You can email us at info@sessionpros.com.  Even better - go to our Ask-a-Pro page and pick the artist and send us your questions.  We'll put it up in a blog, podcast or interview.

 Check back here for the latest and greatest at Session pros or subscribe to our RSS feed and have the news delivered to your computer.  

 See you in the Studio!

  - Billy
