On December 9-12, Delbert McClinton will be the guest artist at MPI: Music Producers Institute, a four-day studio program in Nashville that teaches the creative side of producing records, from start to finish.

McClinton and his band, including long-time collaborator Gary Nicholson, will join the MPI class on days two and three to record and mix new songs. If you are interested in record production, the MPI clinic is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe McClinton record at the Sound Emporium's "A" Room, one of his favorite tracking rooms. You'll see the entire production process, from pre-production and tracking, to overdubbing, mixing, and mastering.

Founded by producer Steve Fishell, MPI allows you the chance to study recording by watching "the real deal" --- Grammy-winning artists, musicians, and engineers --- in a world-class studio. The class size is limited to just ten students. For more information about tuition costs and registration, please go to MPI's website at musicpi.com or call MPI at 615-337-0092.
