Michael Thomas Michael Devon Thomas Michael has been with LIRCS since 1995. Prolific songwriter, accomplished engineer, superb musician, all part of the persona that makes up MT. However there is more. Michael is our most versatile producer. He captures the Nashville sound when called upon . Equally at home with both Southern Gospel or Contemporary Christian . The Heart of Rock n Roll is in Cleveland, and the heart of Michael Thomas is in Rock. Perhaps Michael's finest asset is his ability to get the most out of anyone he works with. We feel fortunate to have MT as part of the L- Team.
Erin Cheeks Erin Cheeks Erin entered our Recording Engineer School in 1997.
Before she even completed the course everyone here immediately
recognized her many talents. She started working at LIRS as soon as she certified as an audio engineer. Being the youngest member of the L-
team Erin brings not only youth, but also a new generation of ideas and
sounds to our producing staff. Our founder Wil Freebody, often has
remarked, " I have shoes older than Erin". Listening to her creative
and unique blends is profusely apparent on any of her productions
(Lauren Mink, Tony Stone).
Steve Nall Steve Nall Steve has been with the company since its inception. As
studio manager he is the "go to guy" whenever anyone needs assistance.
Not only our head engineer, but quite a prolific musician and producer in his own right. . Steve and Wil have been connected musically since 1986. He is the backbone and the heart of the L team. He led the engineering group for Midnight Rooster.
Carolyn Austin Carolyn "Mia Rae" Austin Carolyn (Mia Rae Media Photography) is an
exceptional entertainment photographer, graphic artist, and design and layout coordinator. Mia Rae has designed nearly all the cover art for the many CDs picture on this web site. Her unique and sometimes unconventional way of looking at the world brings an off the wall perspective to the L team. It is widely recognized some people think in the box, some people think outside of the box. Carolyn thinks and works in numerous geometric shapes.
Wil Freebody Wil Freebody As the old man of the L team, Wil started assembling the team in 1986. With forty years experience in the music business, Wil has worked with too many professional acts to list here. It will
suffice to use this allegory to explain our boss. Most people see the world as a half glass of water. They see it either half full or half empty. In Wil's world the glass is always overflowing. We all know he feels blessed to have such a great team.
