Brown Dog Studios is for songwriters and bands who want a professional, yet organic sounding record. Specializing in Rock, Acoustic, and Pop Rock, Brown Dog offers the greatest in mics and gear (see list below), and a professional and talented engineer/producer - Tony Alany.
Tony has been recording for several years, starting on a cassette 8 track, all the way through the ADAT phase in his mother's basement. The big step for Tony was starting Jammin Java Studio in 1999 where he acted as Chief Engineer. That proved to propel him from potential to professional.
He is now one of the most sought after engineer/producers in the DC area, not only for his technical skills, but for his musicianship and truly musical approach to the art of recording.
