On the whole, summertime is usually a little slower with regards to booking sessions here at the studio. Typically we'll use this period to reach out to independent artists and bands that have a need for a killer-sounding recordings, but may not have previous experience in a professional recording studio.
Vibe 56 was honored to host a session for Sargent Rob Gervia, which took place (appropriately) just before the 4th of July holiday.
Rob is currently serving his country as a member of the United States Army.
During his short leave between deployments, Rob traveled to Nashville to record vocals on some tracks that we had prepared in advance of his arrival. We worked with Mary Jo Burden, Rob's manager, to record the instrumental bed tracks that he later came in and recorded vocals to.
As the summer progresses, our business will get back into the swing of things. Rob Gervia is already back to serving his country as I write this. Helping Rob achieve his dream of recording in a Nashville recording studio has helped put a lot of our daily worries into perspective.
Thanks to Rob Gervia (and Mary Jo Burden) for giving us the opportunity to serve someone who is serving for our entire country.
The song was debuted during the Fourth of July celebration at Fort Lee, Va. At the event over 200 copies of the song were given away to the military, family and friends who were there in attendance. His brief stay while at Fort Lee is helping to shape his future in ways he never could have imagined.
