The Trews Acoustic: Friends & Total Strangers

Earlier this year, the good people at Bumstead productions connected FrameBlender with The Trews.  Together we collaborated to create a DVD that would coincide with the release of the band’s first acoustic album Friends & Total Strangers.  On October 6, the DVD was released and includes performances from the band’s two nights at the Glenn Gould Studio on January 30 & 31.  FrameBlender captured both nights with eight cameras, while audio was handled by the talented team at the Glenn Gould Studio.

The Trews have been touring for many years and have been documenting their experiences a majority of the time.  We digitized almost 100 hours of tour material and sorted through all of it to include glimpses into the band’s past.  Interviews with all of the band members were integrated into the concert to give all fans (Friends & Total Strangers) further insight into many of their songs.  With a long track list, hours of material and the responsibility of many aspects of the release, many people at FrameBlender worked very hard, for a long time, to bring the disc to completion.  Please find the credits of who worked on the project below.
