Morgan Kelly at JL Studios for "Long Day Gone"

Morgan Kelly at JL Studios for ADR voice on his soon to be released film, "Long Day Gone".

---
Inspired by true events, Long Gone Day is the story of Christian Locke, a young rockstar who was on the verge of superstardom, then he disappeared. A year since his bands last tour, Christian no longer opens his door.

Phone calls are ignored, messages are not returned. Isolated in his loft, Christian hides from the outside world. Despite his childhood dreams of stardom, he now spends his days getting high and remembering Layna, the girl who left him as his addiction spiraled out of control.
Determined to get her back, Christian finally vows to overcome his demons. But as he soon discovers, while drugs can be addictive, fame can be even worse.

Caught between his dreams of musical immortality and the simple happiness he's found in his girlfriend Layna, Christian is on the verge of losing it all. But just when the memories of his past catch up with him on his journey towards recovery, a dark secret is discovered that casts doubt over everything we believed to be real along the way.

New Single for Country Artist Lee Everett

What a great time we had tracking vocals on a new single for country artist, Lee Everett. The song, "Got What It Takes" was penned by legendary song writer Don Graham. Also, present for the session was super star Bobby Curtola who sang backing harmonies for the track, joined by son Rob Krienke, and patrons of the arts Rosemary & Paul Learn. After the session had wrapped I mentioned to Bobby that a friends mother was a huge fan and asked if he could autograph a picture for her. Bobby said, "I can do better than that, do you have her telephone number?" Mr. Curtola ended up calling Carol and personally sang a song to her over the phone. Now that's what I call a commitment to his fans. Bobby, your one of the coolest guys I have ever met!
