Artist description Although most would consider the #13 to be in the realm of the unlucky, it would seem only too fitting that it would be used as part of the name for Cape Breton’s latest musical duo. As luck would have it two longtime friends have combined their talents in forming the new music duo “Easy 13". With skillfully crafted lyrics and fresh new sounds Alton MacKinnon of Sydney Mines and Chad Bennett of North Sydney have been working together, writing, producing and recording their debut CD that may be considered pop rock with an edge. Taking on the task of recording a CD may seem impossible for an up and coming artist, as time spent in a professional recording studios can be costly not to mention additional costs associated with manufacturing and marketing the final product. Fortunately, with talent and creativity, Easy 13 has found a way to complete their product with minimal costs attached. In true Grass Roots fashion, the duo have been completing their product in a home based studio. The duo has made it their goal to complete all aspects of their project on their own. The two have completed all musicianship, vocals, recording , mastering and artwork on the entire CD. “ It is our desire to show other musicians that with the latest technology and some creativity, completion of a recording in a home based studio with a small budget is possible.” Again in Grass Roots fashion, the duo have been marketing their product as practiced in days past, by literally “knocking on doors.’They have been distributing “in person” promotional kits to radio stations, media individuals and all independent artists resources available to them. To date this grass roots approach has been working as local radio K94 FM has recently released their single Mr. Wonderful to radio during the Hot 30 on Sept1/2002 as the pick hit of the week. The duo have also completed a radio interview with C103.1 Classic Rock in Moncton, New Brunswick . The Station will be spotlighting the duo and several of their songs on their station in the near future. With an anticipated CD release for Fall 2002, the Duo plan to aggressively market their product with the grass roots method that has brought them luck to date. Who said the number 13 was bad luck, its making completing a CD “easy” and inexpensive for Easy 13.
