About Me

Hello, my name is Dan Phelps. I live in Seattle, WA with my beautiful wife, lots of musical instruments, recording paraphernalia, books, records, and old furniture. For some reason I can't seem to get enough vintage love seats in my life. I am pretty convinced that Seattle is the best place in the world. I am also obsessed with good coffee, which might be part of why I love living here.
I am a musician by trade, primarily a guitarist. Some of the people I have played/recorded/been associated with are: The Beautiful Clarks , Tori Amos , Matt Chamberlain , Viktor Krauss , Suffering and The Hideous Thieves , Hideous Thieves , Jess Pillmore , Eric Champion , 3 .
On occasion I have also acted in the role of producer, composer for film, multi-instrumentalist, and corporate music guy. I enjoy pretty much all aspects of music and recording and hope to spend the rest of my life doing it in one fashion or another.

I spent the last half of 2007 traveling the world with Tori Amos:

ATL

If you woke up today and had any of the following thoughts: "Things have been making too much sense lately." "It's been too long since I have been treated like a sub-human." "Today would be a...

Things I am really into right now.

In pretty much no particular order:1. Vinyl. The Phelps household got a turntable in January and I am now utterly in love with vinyl as a music format. In terms of sonics, I think it is way better t...

Gear

Here is a quick run down of the rig I used for the US leg of the American Doll Posse tour. I don't know if I will ever resurrect it in the same exact form, so it makes sense to document it here for a...
