Please enjoy Shades of Blue’s virtual recording of “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens” – out in virtual choir style now.
It was the hardest chart we recorded remotely this year. Darmon Meader’s writing never disappoints, and this is a fun and silly song for him to play with.
It features nine Shades of Blue singers, and a rhythm section made up of great Grand Rapids professionals, who I got into the GRCC Music Center recording studio in October, 2020 – just in the nick of time before things completely closed back down. Thanks to Dave Proulx, Fred Knapp, and Rob Hartman for your contributions!
It was mixed and video engineered by me at Arbol Studios. All audio and video was recorded by the students themselves.
Most of all, shoutout to the nine singers who worked so hard to get it done – Natalie Alvarado, Kayla Chanski, Jessie Harris, Madilyn Barbrick, Desteny Zuniga, Matt Ciejka, Adrian Pool, Sean DeWard, and Brandon Harris.
