Meet studioexpressso Producers: CJ Vanston & Friends...Tap Tap, A Spinal Tap Moment! 

TEC TRACKS      @ NAMM 2026

Turning Setbacks into Success! Most every band has experienced a “Spinal Tap moment,” where they must overcome the disastrous and the absurd and deliver quality work that spells FUN and produces record sales.

In this session we’ll discuss how to employ the fun factor to overcome difficult circumstances with your band member, engineer or producer in the studio, or music director on stage. Hear tips from Spinal Tap producer and keybordist CJ Vanston (Steve Lukather, Prince, Barbara Streisand), and bassist and producer Brent Fischer (The Roots, Prince, Michael Jackson, Usher, The Brent Fischer Orchestra,) along with their award-winning engineers Steve Genewick (Martina McBride, Michael Bublé, Paul McCartney) and Matt Brownlie (LL Cool J, Destiny’s Child, BFO). Their discussion will reveal how to resolve conflicts, work around technical challenges, share fun-inspired production secrets, and demonstrate ways to create a unique sound that leaves audiences smiling and Entertained.

Moderated by Claris Sayadian-Dodge, of studioexpresso.
