About Me

Producer / Mixer / Engineer / Programmer / Musician

Credits Include the Dropkick Murphys, Between the Buried and Me, Monty Are I, Josh Ritter, Dar Williams, Buffalo Tom, Natalie Merchant, Kris Delmhorst, Out To Lunch, Gravehaven, The Click 5, etc...
I like working with musicians in an open & creative recording environment. When I commit to working with a band/artist I immerse myself in the project & consider myself an extension to the band. Recording to me is a lifestyle, not a job.
Check out my website twiggmusic.net for more information about me and a list of credits.
Listen to my Nine Inch Nails remix album Ticking Away .
I'm in a band called Mentalese .
