Tony Buenger:
Tony originally hung his hat in Baltimore, Maryland. He is recently retired from the USAF and has settled down in Eclectic, Alabama. Tony’s interest in music began when his parents bought him his first guitar at the age of nine. He hasn't put the guitar down since. Since the Air Froce would move Tony every few years during his 22-year career, he gained a wide variety of experience in many different bands across the country.
He’s played in rock bands, variety bands, corporate bands, disco bands, and swing bands just to name a few.

 

In 1994, Tony started with a small, modest home studio hunkered away in a spare bedroom. It was a small Fostex 4-track recorder using Cakewalk 3.0, with a few Shure microphones and synthesizer. Simple, but effective enough to compose and write simple instrumental songs. He upgraded the home studio as technology improved and his wallet allowed.

2nd Engineer/Jake Caldwell:

Jake lives in both Nashville and Auburn. He was fortunate enough to meet some wonderful people who helped him realize what a great opportunity he had in Nashville. At age 21, he landed a job as the drummer for Lee Roy Parnell and the HotLinks where he was able to tour the world and play for large audiences in support of Lee Roy's "Tell The Truth" album. After a couple of years of priceless experience, he auditioned for a slot in Phil Vassar's road band and was hired for Phil Vassar's tour during 2005-2007.

Justin Clayton: Justin is originally from Alexander City, Alabama where he was very involved in music throughout high school. Justin was an assistant engineer and live sound engineer for about 5 bands during this time. He continued his love for music by enrolling in the University of North Alabama and in May 2006, he graduated with his B.A. in Commercial Music.

Straight out of college, Justin interned for Reflection Sound Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina. For two months, he worked with Bob Engel, Bruce Irvine, and Don Dixon to help record and edit the work of Anthony Hamilton, Solange Knowles (Beyonce's sister), The Drifters, and various other music acts.

Justin moved back to Alexander City at the end of 2006 and has been playing and recording bass guitar for multiple music acts. In the summer of 2007, Justin met Tony Buenger and the two became great friends. With the completion of Guest House Studios in 2008, Justin has been brought in as a staff assistant engineer and session bass player.
