Todd Richard reaches CMT Finals
Todd Richard called me out of the blue and requested us to film him singing in our studio. I asked him what kinda music he played and his response was "Country Karaoke" to be honest alarm bells went off in my head. We film alot of talent here at Tractorgrease Studios and this was the first time a non original act had looked us up.
Todd blew me away, he had great tone, pitch and that Country music charisma. We've done 3 songs for him now, and if anyone's got some original country songs for him to sing throw them our way.
He's recently been added to the CMT Karaoke competition in Toronto, and I don't see why he can't win.
This video was live switched using the Newtek Tricaster Studio

5440 at Tractorgrease Studio
Our first big project at Tractorgrease Studio was none other than legendary Canadian band 5440. I owe alot to this band, because as my metal heroes started wearing too much make up, it was bands such as 5440, The Replacements, and REM that set me on the right path.
5440 have a new album coming out in September 2008, and it's awesome. We made a video for every song on the record, a new approach in this multimedia world which will give their fans lots to enjoy.
This video for the song called "The Chant" was live switched on our new video mixer called the Tricaster Studio. For more info on the Tricaster product from Newtek contact tractorgrease.jeff@gmail.com
