Summary: For the next few weeks, we're going to be taking some time away from producing new episodes of The Modern Recordist, to create space for some other projects and behind the scenes stuff we're trying to tackle through the summer. During the down time, we're going to be re-running segments of some of the most popular episodes of the podcast. So this is your chance to catch an episode that you may have missed before, or perhaps pick up something new from an episode you've already heard. For this episode re-run, we're pulling from an episode we recorded at the beginning of the year, with the first guest we had on for 2016. This is the first half of EP: 037 with Nashville based songwriter, producer, musician, and recording artist, Aron Wright. Aron has had songs on TV shows like Grey's Anatomy, iZombie, and Pretty Little Liars. He also has co-written songs with bands such as Panic! At The Disco.
