Kyre
Co-Creator
Kyre Wilcox has a passion for music and nature and a thirst for joy. In third grade his mother bought him his first Squire P Bass and his musical exploration began. One of five kids, Kyre grew up coastal living a dream life between Encinitas, CA and Max Inn, ID during the summers. He spent his childhood playing around SD, OC and LA with his band Full Revolution who continues to make music together 16 years later. Kyre loves getting to play with as many different types of groups and artists to expand his feel and vocabulary. His mom would always be listening to classic albums in the car and always encouraging him to play as much as possible. Having a successful cinematographer as a brother led him to co-found the Ursa Polaris sessions with longtime friend and Bandmate Andrew Ware. When the Ursa Polaris studio was no more they teamed up with good friend Zach Benevidez to build out a new studio and new show. Kyre also enjoys sharing his vast record collection by DJing around town.
Andrew
Co-Creator
Andrew Ware is a drummer, sound engineer, and technical producer for the Barn Time podcast. After studying recording engineering and startup development, Andrew built a record label and designed a recording studio called Ursa Polaris Records, culminating in the release of several "Ursa Polaris Sessions" with fellow bandmate Kyre Wilcox, until the studio shut its doors shortly before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Refocusing, he and Zach Benavidez teamed up to help turn Zach's old storage shed in the backyard into a multimedia production studio, as a pilot location of Apogee Creatives, a co-working space focused on audiovisual production. After months of remodeling and sound treatment, Apogee began its first project with the "Barn Time" podcast, hosted by Zach Benavidez and Kyre Wilcox.
Phil
Mixing/ Mastering Engineer
Phil Pardell is a professional drummer, educator and multimedia producer based in San Diego County. With a constant hunger for growth, Phil has continuously studied music for over 28
years. After earning a Bachelor’s Degree of Musical Performance in Philadelphia and working on the east coast, he relocated back to the San Diego area where he continues a career performing, teaching and recording drums. His path eventually led to include audiovisual production for various companies where he honed his skills in live sound reinforcement, recording, mixing, mastering, and video editing through real world experience. Through friendship and performing with Kyre Wilcox in the Anthony Cullins band, Phil was exposed to the Barn Time Podcast and immediately wanted to get involved with this talented and harmonious team. As it would turn out, the Barn Time team could use a hand with post production audio mixing and mastering so Phil happily joined the team in late 2022.
