Blue Coast Records, a west coast label known for exceptional acoustic recordings, will be hosting a room at Rocky Mountain Audiofest Oct 10-12, called Blue Coast World. Joining Blue Coast Records will be Festival Link and other high fidelity music companies. The LSA Group and Exemplar Audio is outfitting Blue Coast World with incredible gear that will make Room 414 at the Marriot in Denver one of the 'must hear' rooms at the show.
Unique music from known high quality recordings will feature artists from various genres. "Garbage in, garbage out", says Marenco, "what's the point of high fidelity music if the original recording is less than stellar".
Blue Coast Records will also host a special evening of solo piano with legendary talent, Art Lande. The performance will be a celebration of the Blue Coast Records release called, While She Sleeps, a solo piano recording featuring Mr. Lande. The performance is at 7pm at the Marriot Tech Center in the Lobby and is a free concert followed by a signing and reception party with Lande and producer, Cookie Marenco.
Blue Coast Records will also be highlighted in the Audiotion room at the conference. Other events include Marenco as a panelist at the Digital Pavillion on Friday.

In Nashville Recording with Blue Coast Artist, Rob Ickes!
Rob Ickes, one of the few Dobro masters and Blue Coast artist extraordinare, brought Cookie Marenco to Nashville to record the debut project for his label, Resorevolution Records. The recording features Rob on Dobro, Michael Alvey (piano) and RobinElla (on vocals). The music was played live in the studio and will have a unique 'jazz/country/swing' to it.
Rob chose Wildwood Recording in Franklin, Tennessee to capture the performances being one of the few studios that has 2" tape, a great sounding grand piano and wonderful acoustics in the room. Cookie brought her arsenal of proprietary silver cable and Rob's 'special' mics to the session. She was assisted by facility owner, Brendan Harkin, a well known engineer/producer/musician in his own right.
Cookie will return to OTR with the tapes en route for mixing and high res files for backup. The album should be completed and available later this year. We're all looking forward to some sneak peeks of this recording!

Incredible Review and Response on Home Cinema.fr Blog!
Home Cinema in English
Hi Friends, one of our fans, Guy Bollore, bought the Blue Coast Collection SACD from what he read on this French website and forum. I found the google translator and asked Guy to post a note for me in French to offer thanks for all the kind words about the disc.
The power of the internet is amazing! People responded so positively to my visit, Jean Claude Reynaud wrote in. It brought an incredible flurry of activity for both Jean and myself and amazing responses that led to France becoming the number one country to visit our site overtaking even the USA! Amazing.
The fans at Home Cinema especially like Jane Selkye and Garret Brennan. I expect they had d flurry of activity at their website, too.
The internet is an incredible tool. It brings together people from around the world to unite in what they are passionate about. Music has no language barriers.

Mid February Blue Coast Newsletter
Hello friends! I hope the New Year finds you well! The last month has been incredible with so much energy. CES and THE Show were spectacular. In early February, our friend, Brenda Vaughn visited us from Japan. She's an American native now living in Tokyo. On that same day, we had the largest number of Japanese visitor since our website debuted. For the first time, Japan overtook France as the country where we received the most visits. Next week, we will debut our website in 9 languages, including Japanese, simple Chinese and Korean.
This morning I woke to a flurry of activity from our online store. A review came out in France online.
French Review on Home Cinema
As I do with all purchases online, I respond with questions about how they heard about us and was given the link by a wonderful person named Guy. I found a google translator and managed to read the review and write a response. Guy was kind enough to post if for me since I didn't know how to join in French. What better day than to be surrounded by many adoring French men who buy my disk! There are certainly a lot of problems with our lives dominated by computers, but having so many friends in a community who loves your music is not one of them!
More updates at my personal blog:

You can receive an RSS feed, if you like. There I discuss all kinds of topics that are on my mind.
We're looking forward to our 2nd release in Spring 2008. Check back to our website often. Please feel free to send emails and stay in touch!
