The Wedding Song That Turned Into A Full-Length Project
Posted on 06. Apr, 2016 by Tim Bushong in Album Review, News
About a year ago, I got a call from a guy named Mike Rude, and he wanted to record a song that he had written for his daughter’s upcoming wedding. After figuring out an arrangement and instrumentation, it turned into a nice little dance-able tune, with a sort of classic 60′s, “Wrecking Crew” feel to [...]
“Local Man Debates Entire Denomination—Film At 11:00”- Part 2
Posted on 19. Dec, 2015 by Tim Bushong in News
In my first post, I critiqued staff writer Ray Balogh’s introduction to the “Abortion” installment of the series Tackling the Tough Questions back in October of 2015 for the Milford Mail-Journal Church Page. In this post I will try to interact with the condensed version of A Social Statement On Abortion from the Evangelical Lutheran [...]
“Local Man Debates Entire Denomination—Film At 11:00”- Part 1
Posted on 21. Oct, 2015 by Tim Bushong in News
As most of you know, in addition to being a guy who makes records, I am also one of three pastors of a small Church named “Trinity Evangelical Church,” located in Larwill, IN. But I am from the wonderful little town of Syracuse, and although I am not a member of the local ministerial association [...]

Harry and Melissa Becker are a husband and wife team who are, along with a drummer Josh and bassist Ken, known collectively as the band “Filthy Rags”. Hailing from Fort Wayne, IN, they are a working band who plays in every kind of setting you can imagine, and rocks every one of them. This is [...]
Boring, stupid, nerdy tech stuff…
Posted on 07. Apr, 2015 by Tim Bushong in News
I love technology. There—I’ve said it. I’m with Kip in this regard, although he’s in a precarious position regarding La Fawnduh and his song, in which he declares his undying love for her—and for technology. No woman wants to be compared to an Acer… equivocate much? Nonetheless, advances in technology make my work as a [...]
Can Anything Good Come From…Elkhart?
Posted on 12. Feb, 2015 by Tim Bushong in News
No offense to my friends who live there, but we used to dread driving from here in Syracuse to where our singer, Dave Loren, lived in Berrien Springs, Michigan, because it meant that we had to make the trip through…Elkhart! Aaaagh…nowadays, county road 17 just shoots straight up through everything (love it!), but back then [...]
Sunny Taylor’s “Map to the Fire” Released
Posted on 08. Nov, 2014 by Tim Bushong in News
It was 18 months in the making, but well worth the extra effort—Sunny Taylor’s latest full-length CD, Map to the Fire, was officially released Friday night, November 7, 2014, at ‘The Phoenix’ in Fort Wayne, Indiana to a overly-packed house. All the cool kids were there! Rockhill Records‘ owner Jon Swerens was there manning the [...]
Southern Straightaway Country
Posted on 26. Jul, 2014 by Tim Bushong in News
Sure is authentic, county-fried country music, yessir. Bassist Dan Tanner and co. rolled into town back in the end of May to begin recording their new album. Now, I can’t play any samples (yet), but I’ll just say that it’s some swampy, stompy, down-to-earth country goodness from a bunch of ex-rockers. Here’s the deal: sometimes [...]
Drive the Nail Home
Posted on 14. Apr, 2014 by Tim Bushong in News
Well, it is finally finished—the “Shiny Shiny Black” project, “{Travelers}” , is recorded, mixed, mastered, and now being manufactured. They say you never really finish a record—you just stop—but I can now say that the fork has been stuck into the roast, the last coat of paint has been applied, and the final nail in [...]
Sirface—Unplugged!?!?!?
Posted on 13. Feb, 2014 by Tim Bushong in News
I’ve been a fan of, and worked with, the band “Sirface” for almost 14 years now. I’ll never forget their first visit here in early 2000—Jared Pagan, walking up to the back door of the (then) 16×16 studio space, was overheard as saying “Guys—this is gonna suck”! Little did he know the metal insanity that [...]
