Public Notices - Village Recording Studio Releases New Music by Broad Ripple Singer/Songwriter
posted: Nov. 01, 2019

New music from a Broad Ripple-based singer/songwriter is now available on all major the major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Google Play, among others.
The artist, Kessler Green, proudly takes its name from the Indianapolis street that leads to the home of the bands founder, Quinn Leach. The new album, "In Between the Ghosts", features 12 original songs written by Leach.
As a local singer/songwriter, Leach has fine-tuned his craft behind the scenes for a few years in Broad Ripple, performing solo and creating recording demos. When Leach set out to record an album in early 2018, he was taken under the wing of producer, musician and recording engineer, Brian Lee Wheat - also a Broad Ripple resident - who heard the potential of Leach's masterful songwriting and singing. Wheat was especially captivated by the amazing influences contained within the melodies and music in Leach's songs - folk, ragtime, gypsy jazz, neo soul, rock, and electronic music, to name a few.
As producer, Wheat's vision was to create a modern full-length studio album that reflected the breadth and depth of Leach's influences and music talents. The instrumentation on the album includes guitar, ukulele, piano, cello, mandolin, harp, trumpet, and fiddle along with synthesizers, electronic and sampled drums, as well as a host of special studio effects for depth and atmosphere.
Along with vocals, Leach contributed guitar, ukulele, mandolin and piano to the album. Wheat played bass guitar on all the tracks and arranged the drum tracks, samples, and beats. To round out the sonic palette, Wheat and Leach recruited a talented group of national and Indianapolis-based musicians, including Brian Noble (piano and keys), Chase Cotton (trumpet), Natasha Velvet (harp) Kurt Baumer (fiddle) and Renee Merrifield (piano).
The result is "In Between the Ghosts", Kessler Greens first LP record completed in the fall of 2019. The 12 songs on the album were tracked, mixed and mastered at Wheat's recording studio, Village Recording, located in Broad Ripple, a cultural district of Indianapolis Indiana.
