  • MMHP Season 5 Ep:12--Andy Reed: Recording Great Lakes Humble Harmonies Part 1 of 2
    Jan 23 2025

    Musician, Producer, Engineer, Fan--Andy Reed wears many hats in the Michigan music buffet. Known for his productions out of Reed Recording, the former Verve Pipe bassist/solo artist has pushed the boundaries of creativeness in all areas of performance. Based in Bay City, Reed is a first-call Nashville unit for artists to travel when Music City needs a hand. Having put out his own brilliant albums for years with Legal Matters and An American Underdog, Reed hit the recording bug when working his first album with the Haskels down at Brendan Benson's pad, pre-Nashville move.

    Reed is humble, musical, full of power pop and harmonic ideas, and can work fast in the studio. His love of Beatles and Beach Boys goes hand in hand with his '90s music upbringing.

    This two-part series will paint a humble portrait, of a fun, musically excited family man, that embraces the national scene, while keeping it all on a local stage. Meet Andy, Part 1 of 2--NOW!

    Jan 9 2025

    John Woolard's father Dwayne is one Michigan's first fore-fathers of country music, having been a pianist for all the Nashville and Mid-West names and albums. John himself started out with high school bands leading him to a short stint in Til Tuesday while in Florida. That road led to Nashville, both studio and touring. Coming back to Michigan and joining the armed forces along the way, Woolard took the family story to the next level in various country bands and stints from here around the globe. Upon giving his life to Christ, Woolard's stage expanded, as did his repertoire. Woolard got signed to a label and took his sounds across the Christian tour trail.

    Woolard recently moved since this podcast, however he remains a man of music, as well as a Pastor in Michigan. This story is one of the deepest wells we have dove into. Tune in today!
