This new spot we recorded for Love Communications and utahquitnet.com features a mashup we created of some good ole' banjo music and a Taiko drum track. We booked banjo player John Schallhorn into the studio to fingerpick the main melody that gets this spot rolling. After that, we asked voice over artist Hames Ware to do his best Festus imitation. Then, all that was left to complete this production was the serious announcer graphs, which were read with just the right amount of contrasting gravity by the lovely and talented Libby Strawn. The only thing we forgot to do was eat sushi after the session for dinner.
