Matt Lashoff might become the first person to play the
Aud twice — as a hockey player and rock star.
“That would be a blast absolutely,” said the former
Kitchener Rangers defenceman. “I’m definitely going
to try and get out and play some shows.”
. . . It was in Beantown where Lashoff was first
noticed. Los Angeles producer Loren Harriet heard about
the rink rat with a passion for rocking out and put
the plan in motion to record Living On Heart.
Lashoff was backed by seasoned session musicians, some
of whom played with Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton
and John Mellencamp, among others. Read

“I had an absolute blast working on this project,
but I couldn’t
have done it without having a true pro as my producer, Loren Harriet,” Swisher said.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for all of
the talented artists and musicians that performed
on this album, but most of all I want to thank the
kids. They sound amazing, and I’m honored just to
have been given this opportunity.”

Bernie and the Big Man

Here's an abstract from a recent article by Jack
Curry at YesNetwork.com
. . . Anyway, since Williams will be making his
first appearance at Old-Timers' Day for the Yankees
on Sunday, it seemed like the perfect time for another
story that blended baseball and music. After the
Yankees won the 1998 World Series, Williams was among
a group of musically-talented major leaguers who
were asked to perform a live show in Orlando, Florida.
The players were supplemented by a house band and
several other musicians. Those musicians included
Clarence Clemons, the cool saxophonist for Bruce
Springsteen’s E Street Band. Clemons, of course,
died of complications from a stroke on June 18.
Loren Harriett, who subsequently produced Williams’s
two albums, coordinated the players and the band
13 years ago. Harriet’s plan was to have Clemons
burst on stage to help the band play “Glory Days,”
a Springsteen about a baseball player who constantly
harkens back to his early years. There was no sax
solo in that song, but Clemons told Harriet that
he would create one. The song was the finale of the
event . . . Read more at http://www.myyesnetwork.com/

I was hoping you could fill the readers
in a little bit about your record company, other
artists you have produced, or maybe how you got into
producing.
LH: I have a production company called
LGH Productions. I've been producing albums for about
15 years now. The artists range from traditional
recording artists from the world of music, to non-traditional
recording artists from the world of sports, film
and television. I got into producing many years
ago as I met various top session musicians in the
music industry. It was fun to go into the studio
with them, along with the recording artist and have the
recording artists' project come alive. Some of my
projects are at my website www.lorenharriet.com,
though the site needs to be updated. Read more at
