Maryland’s Tom Mindte is celebrating 40 years with his record company, Patuxent Music. These past four decades he has recorded in his studio and released on his label some terrific music, much of it unlikely to have seen the light of day absent his involvement. In that number have been a good number of musicians featured years before they became prominent, and not a few legends.
His passion throughout has been music of interest and quality, and he has invested time and resources into dozens of artists who would not have attracted the attention of labels looking to the bottom line.
In celebration of this milestone, Tom has put together this video with images and video clips from most of those sessions.
Mindte also provided this list of people appearing in the video:
