News From Stepbridge StudiosMusic Awards Year after year we are honored to work on the ultimate creative
expression of hundreds of artists. We take great pride in the trust and
confidence that is deposited in us. Often the art and the artist are so
exceptional that the end product surpasses its peers. When this happens
a gathering of our music community shows its gratitude and support by
assigning a degree of award to the artist and art. Such is the case for
singer Hillary Smith and the magnificent crew of producers, musicians
and engineers she assembled. A grand salute to this years' New Mexico
Music Awards Sweep of top honors, Hillary Smith. Hillary Smith’s 2008 CD, “No Easy Way” took top honors as best CD of the year for the 22nd annual New Mexico Music Awards. Smith also walked away with Best Vocal Performance and Best Remake trophies and the CD garnered a Best Producer nod for producer’s Luis Guerra and John Rangel and a Best Engineer awards for Andrew Click of Stepbridge Studios. For full list of honorees, go to: D Numbers D Numbers is the life's work of three close friends who live in Santa
Fe, NM. Since the band's inception in 2002, D Numbers has been steadily
forging their own path in a jaded and post-everything modern music
scene. It's not the kind of music that can be described in a nice
little catch phrase, although some have tried ("prog-bot" being one of
the more colorful attempts made by one Dallas writer). D Numbers' broad
range of influences and long process of group development have led to a
complex and unique hybrid of instrumental rock and electronica. Their
powerful live shows have earned them a diverse and loyal following,
while their début CD, Lightparade, proves that the trio easily bridges
the span between the stage and the studio. FELIPE RUIBAL & QUEMOZO Embracing Latin styles spanning the globe, Quemozo is New Mexican at heart and salsa in soul. This versatile power combo was founded in 2005 by award-winning composer and vocalist, Felipe Ruibal. He has shared the stage with a variety of world-renowned artists such as the Gipsy Kings, Etta James, and Los Lonely Boys. |
 Quemozo features undeniable talents Omar Villanueva (Lead Guitar
& Vocals), Luis Guerra (Contra-Bajo), Camilo Quiñones (Drums &
Percussion), and Tony Quiñones (Congas & Bongos). Each possesses
the mettle to stand alone, but when they come together they are
uniquely Quemozo. MANZANARES Led by brothers David and Michael Manzanares and accompanied by some of the best musicians in the industry, MANZANARES has been labeled one of the hottest latin acts to hit the music scene and has gained both national and international attention. They continue to expand their already extensive fan base all over the U.S., Europe, South America, Japan and Australia. Sharing their music with the world is what the brothers like best. Born with a passion for music, they grew up the youngest two of six children on a century-old Spanish ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico. Steeped in strong family traditions, they were raised with a deep respect for their culture, their land and their family. LORENZO ANTONIO "RANCHERAS VOL. 2" - THE NEW ALBUM BY LORENZO ANTONIO Successfully confronting a new challenge in his professional career, Lorenzo Antonio once again reveals his diversity as an artist and performer. Lorenzo Antonio repeats his simple style of interpreting rancheras in his new album, “Rancheras Vol. 2,” released by Universal and Viva Records. This album is full of Ranchera songs that recognize the importance of the feelings of anyone who has ever felt what it is to love. To live and love; to love and lose; to reveal what the heart feels as it travels along the rollercoaster of life. Lorenzo Antonio keeps his artistic personality intact by taking on a repertoire which talks about those issues which appear to be so simple but yet are so important. Working in the studio to produce the best sound possible, Lorenzo Antonio’s voice and guitar playing come together in the interpretation of ten great songs. The CD starts with “Anillo Grabado.” This song is a story of a man’s affectionate plea to a woman asking her to wear on her hand, as a reminder of his passion, a ring on which his name is inscribed. It continues with songs about heartbreak and scorn, blame, hurt, and deceit. But while Lorenzo interprets these songs of lost love beautifully, he has always been a true romantic, and on this album he doesn’t walk away without singing about unrestrained, passionate love. “El Dia Del Amor,” and “Si No Existieras,” are two of the songs that express the kind of sincere secrets and romanticism that are only shared from one heart to another. “Rancheras Vol. 2” is a brilliant diamond that consolidates Lorenzo Antonio’s success as a singer and guitarist. It is a gem of Ranchera music that seduces, inspires love, invites us all to dance, and reaffirms Lorenzo Antonio’s discographic success. CAFE 8 BALL CAFE 8 BALL
