Yellowcard’s Ryan Key launches Kickstarter for The Lone Tree Recordings

August 24, 2015

Yellowcard frontman, Ryan Key is already at the halfway mark of his recently launched Kickstarter campaign for The Lone Tree Recordings, a studio that he hopes will be the platform for the next step in his music career, as well as a place for other artists to start theirs. Key’s beginnings in the music production business started with a simple email to the Yellowcard website in 2011. The email was from the band manager of Like Torches, an alternative rock band based in Sweden, looking to produce a new record and go on tour. Key and Yellowcard guitarist, Ryan Mendez, teamed up to produce the band’s first record and that project ignited Key’s passion for producing. In early 2015, Key recorded and produced the second Like Torches album on his own in Stockholm, Sweden. “Working with Ryan on our last two records has really helped us reach a new level,” said Jonathan Kärn of Like Torches. “We feel like we’ve created a great sound that we are proud of and Ryan definitely helped us find it.” [Read More]
