I’m sitting in a break at a conference in Rome pushing buttons and twiddling knobs As look over some shots from last weekends musical adventure.

After talking with Jon i made my mind up to travel to Nelson BC that winter and have rely never looked back . The picture he panted for me was just so vivid i had to go experience this place.

But it was not Jon’s travel advice that…

Wildings spent the week at Gran’s House Studios, beginning work on our debut recording with Angus Lyon at the engineering helm. We had a wonderful time, and plans are afoot to return later in the year…
