Dear Peter and the whole PG Music Team of Superstars,
Thank you so much.
I agree with what others have said: this product changes lives. I cannot imagine life without this product now. Really.
I have put out I think 14 albums since 2014 and have 180 songs on Spotify, Amazon and iTunes/Apple, etc.
Plus, I am collaborating with some of the coolest people on the planet, many of them here.
Rachel Cintula, who has joined the forum lately since we have been co-writing, said that listening to herself sing Big Wide Open Road was a dream come true, a moment of sheer joy and a highlight in her life.
It is that way for many.
This would not have happened with PG Music.
Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks very much Peter and Staff!
I've been using this software for so long, going back to when it was MIDI only, I can't imagine life without it at this point.
And thanks also for these forums, especially the Showcase. I've made many friends here over the years and listened to lots of great music. I spend more time listening to music here than anywhere else actually, always so inspiring!

Thank you, Dr. Gannon, and everyone else at PG Music! Band in a Box has been my super power for quite a while now. Real Tracks is an amazing musical invention. I'm always thrilled with the results I get. Still hoping to write that one great song, maybe this is the year. Thanks so much again.

Thank you PG Music for the award. The greatest software on Earth just keeps getting better and hopefully does far into the future. The songs made with BIAB and shared on this forum are better than on the hit lists, so much talent and creativity.

Peter and the rest of the PGM gang, thank you so much for your generosity. BiaB has kept me involved in music and as I have said many times virtually all of my songs start in BiaB.
Also I am extremely humbled to be included with some of the best songwriters and musicians on the planet.
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

Doctor Peter Gannon and all of your staff at PG Music,
PG Music is the absolute GREATEST! Thank you all so much.
BIAB is an unique and amazing product which I have been using for over 25 years since the MIDI-only era without RealTracks. I'm very happy and honored to have been included in this year's awards.
And… Congratulations to all the other winners.
Best regards.

Peter and the entire PG Music Staff—
I continue to be amazed at the wonder that is PG Music. Not only do you have an amazing product that helps us give life to our songs, and not only do you provide a forum through which we can share them, but then you also provide these generous awards . . . it’s a rare thing to find a company so wonderfully thoughtful and giving to its users.
Thank you so much for including me among such a talented group of artists. And congratulations to all the other well-deserving recipients. What a wonderful community we have here at BIAB! It’s a pleasure and a privilege to be a member of it!

Thank you for the opportunity to share my songs with others, but more importantly, thank you for having such a great product which earned me 11 'One to Watch' songs from the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) in 2022. BIAB has taken my songwriting skills to a whole new level!
Na zdrowie!

Man, I wish I lived close to your office, PGMusic folks. Whenever I've had to call or email, the most happy people answer and actually care to help. It must be a fun place to hang out, let alone work. Thank you so much, Peter Gannon and Gang. You know this software is reward in itself, and the music, friendship and help from the incredible Showcase members is an ineffable bonus. Cheers to you all, and thanks for making this all happen.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
