About Us
NWestMusic.com is a project of Chinook Wind Recording, a studio in Tacoma, WA, that specializes in live location recording. Its owner is Kerry Webster. The director of marketing is Shelly Lively.
The mission of NWestMusic.com is to provide an online outlet for independent CDs created by musicians of the Pacific Northwest -- Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. We concentrate on acoustical genres -- folk, bluegrass, New Age, jazz, swing and big band, choral, classical and other music often overshadowed in the big box stores. We audition each title to assure high quality.
Most of our recordings are consigned by the artists themselves, who pay us a small commission on each sale.
Owner Kerry Webster is a veteran recording engineer who has recorded scores of Northwest musicians, as well as nationally known artists. Shelly Lively, whose job is searching out new talent for the site, is a lifelong bluegrass musician (guitar).
