It seems After Tuesday has been making quite a name for themselves as producers-in-demand while on hiatus from recording their own material. The guys not only produced and mixed the debut album for popular Canadian country singer Derek James Tilley — who had success at radio and a song hitting #1 on the iTunes Canadian Country chart — they are also wrapping up the final details on a project for up-and-comer Stacey Jamieson, and getting a new project launched for country singer Amy Rose.
“We’ve always been really ‘hands-on’ in the studio, and I’m by my own admission a tech-nerd (lol), so producing and mixing has been a natural evolution in our career path. And Glenn and I have known each other for so long it seems we’re always on the same page creatively, and pushing each other to see what else we can do to make a song and a project better. I really credit our early musical roots singing a cappella together back in high school with giving us a solid base for arranging and harmonizing,” said Marty.
While growing this aspect of their career don’t count After Tuesday — as artists — out…they plan on getting into the studio later in the year to record their long overdue sophomore album.

Wishing everyone a happy new year! All the best for 2010!

After Tuesday

The latest single “Last Train” by country artist Derek James Tilley is making a run up the charts! The song, which was co-written and produced by AFTER TUESDAY, was just released a few weeks ago and is already in rotation on dozens of radio stations nation-wide!
As always - you know what I’m about to say - be sure to request the song at your favourite radio station! Thanks so much!

AFTER TUESDAY recently returned from Vancouver for the 2009 Canadian Country Music Awards. “What an amazing time we had,” said Marty. “So much to do, so little time! It was great to catch up with friends, and squeeze in some business too.” “A definite highlight for me was AT getting on stage at the Ole party with our buddies from Emerson Drive to do some cover tunes,” added Glenn. The guys also made the most of their time out west by songwriting with hitmaker Tal Bachman and veteran songwriter/producer Dave Pickell.

DEREK JAMES TILLEY - produced and managed by AFTER TUESDAY - recently had his album “Angels & Outlaws” hit #11 on the ‘Top Country Albums’ chart on iTunes!!
Congrats Derek!

Look for Derek and After Tuesday performing together this summer. Some dates include:
June 12 Innisfest; June 27 Peterborough Festival of Lights.

A big thank you goes out to the organizers of the Ontario Open Country Singing Contest in Blyth, ON. I had the wonderful opportunity to be a judge for the contest this past weekend and was treated to amazing hospitality and dozens of stellar performances by the contestants. Other judges included Tommy Gilham, Diane Chase, Stacey Lee and Travis Teed. Congratulations to the winners and all the participants.

After Tuesday performed a great set at the 1st annual Barrie Earth Hour Music Festival. They rocked the downtown Barrie crowd of some 3500 strong along with fellow performers David Usher, Tal Bachman, Derek James Tilley, Stacey Jamieson and Final Thought. Barrie Mayor Dave Aspden and Barrie MPP and Minister of Culture Aileen Carroll were also on hand to welcome the crowd and say a few words about the significance of supporting Earth Hour.

Ontarians as a whole were enthusiastic about Earth Hour showing a decrease in electricity demand of more than 6%. The numbers were even better locally showing a 10% decrease in Simcoe County and a whopping 15.1% in Toronto!

As organizers of the event After Tuesday would like to thank all the sponsors, volunteers, staff and everyone in attendance for making this such a great event in only its first year! More importantly a big thank you to everyone who supports Earth Hour everyday by eliminating non-essential use of power and helping to combat climate change.

See you next year!

After Tuesday is excited to announce their participation in the Barrie Earth Hour Music Festival - a free concert event in support of World Wildlife Funds’s global Earth Hour. Other performers include David Usher, Tal Bachman, Derek James Tilley and Stacey Jamieson.

Earth Hour is a global climate change initiative run by the WWF, which calls on individuals and businesses to turn off non-essential lighting for one hour on Saturday, March 28th, 2009 between 8:30pm and 9:30pm. The aim of the campaign is to demonstrate support for action on climate change and express that individual action on a mass scale can help change our planet for the better.

The festival will begin at 4:30pm and the performances will run from 6:00pm to about 10:00pm in downtown Barrie, ON just outside city hall. See you there, and please help support Earth Hour!

Fellow After Tuesday Productions artist Derek James Tilley was a nominee in the ‘Emerging Artist’ category.
