THINGS ARE HOPPIN' AT THE FROG
|
Blue Frog Studios is located in the west coast beach-side town of White Rock, BC, about 40 mins south of Vancouver. Its state-of-the-art concert theatre was designed as a large commercial recording studio that would accommodate an 80-piece orchestra. From the 23-foot high ceilings, to the river rock walls and beautiful hardwood floors, you know you are in a special place. The studio provides world-class sound and lighting, as well as 4K video and audio recording technology with an unparalleled production team. Producers love the great sound that comes out of this studio and artists can't wait to perform.
In 2010, an experimental concert was produced with Grammy Award winning artist Dan Hill. Three shows were instantly sold-out and owners Kelly and Juanita knew that they were on to something. The live concert production side of the business has developed into nearly 150 concerts per year. Many of the concerts have been recorded resulting in studio quality live albums. In 2014, Blue Frog took another "hop" forward by producing a world-wide live stream broadcast for Earth Day, with San Francisco band Jefferson Starship. Following that, a full DVD video shoot for the amazing Alfie Zappacosta. Blue Frog was now the room for live concert video productions with its studio sound and perfect video sound stage lighting and design. Things continue to progress with the BLUE FROG LIVE streaming channel complete with live switching of the concerts. The live streaming shows draw thousands of viewers from around the globe. |
