Since the mid '80's I have been working with bands in the
studio producing records. Most of my work is with bands that play live and singer songwriters that really want to have a 'band sound'. I use all of my experience as a producer, band leader (Roscoe's Gang), band member (Del-Lords, Yayhoos), sideman (Steve Earle & the Dukes, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts), session player (Run DMC/Everlast, Keri Noble, Mojo Nixon, Casey Neil, Syd Straw) songwriter and engineer to help everyone in the room get to the place where they can do a really great job. I believe in the power of live tracks and analog and I also love the flexibility that digital brings us so we use both mediums and try to remember the two main rules of recording.
1. There is no rule.
2 . See rule number #1.
In January of 2000 Tim Hatfield and I set up our own workshop style recording studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at Cowboy Technical Services. Recent clients at CTS include Miss Ohio, Tandy, Marah, Jim White, Joe Flood, Chris Harford, the Damnwells, Robert Randolph, the Demolition String Band, the Silos, Marshall Crenshaw, the Yayhoos, Jim Duffy, Wili Jones, Keri Noble, The Last Town Chorus, Kasey Anderson,, The Dirty 30's, Western Paradise, Ryan Adams and Steve Earle & the Dukes. We've surrounded ourself with great gear and instruments that enable great things to happen.
