Here's an article about one of MiG's CD producers, Rob Mathes: www.wtnh.com/Global/story.asp?S=5822436&nav=menu29_2Rob Mathes Christmas Concert(WTNH, Dec. 24, 2006 7:55 AM) _ Rob Mathes joins us for some holiday tunes. Rob Mathes has had a busy year - and one of his most exciting professionally. He will be coming to the annual Christmas Concert after musically directing the Kennedy Center Honors - the fourth in a row he has musically directed, that honors conductor Zubin Mehta; singer, songwriter and producer Smokey Robinson; country music star Dolly Parton; musical theater composer and producer Andrew Lloyd Webber; and film director and producer Steven Spielberg. Some other highlights of Rob's musical career this year include an Emmy nomination for his work on last year's Kennedy Center Honors; co-writing, orchestrating and conducting the score for the upcoming major motion picture Astronaut Farmer featuring Billy Bob Thornton and Bruce Willis; and working with Hall and Oates on the first Hall and Oates Christmas record, Home for Christmas, recorded at Abbey Road in London. Rob played and arranged several songs and was particularly thrilled when Daryl Hall recorded one of Rob's arrangements written originally for his Christmas Concerts, "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear." He also produced two records this year, one for Mig Ayesa, a new artist on Universal and the other for Fernando Lima, a counter-tenor from Spain on EMI Classics, recorded with a full orchestra and also at Rob's home away from home, Abbey Road Studios in London.In addition to this, Rob wrote a ton of string arrangements for artists as far flung as Butch Walker, Avril Lavigne, Kris Kristofferson, The Boston Pops, Bowling for Soup, an edgy punk-pop band Hot Hot Heat and Carole King, as well as working with legendary producer David Foster on the artists Peter Cincotti and Renee Olmstead. To round it all off, Rob also co-produced a track with Panic! At The Disco, the MTV Video Of The Year winners for the re-released Tim Burton film The Nightmare Before Christmas. After all this, Rob still says that the focal point of his year and the highlight of his year are performing the Christmas Concerts.
