About Me

E Productions is probably the best kept secret in the Tidewater area as far as local indie Blues, Jazz, and Alternative Rock music is concered. We're not exactly a band, but more of a consortium of session musicians and performers. We're not exactly a recording studio but we record and produce. Most important, we're not selling anything. Often we will showcase local talent that collaborates with us . It's kinda like "build a bear" but with musicians. Yes we're small potatoes, but we try real hard. It's a diverse place where musicians of all genres can exchange ideas, compose, arrange and lay down tracks in a groovy setting (lava lamps provide ambiance, blow-up pool in back yard available in the warmer months. We throw a lot of stuff against the wall to see if anything sticks. Occasionaly, we get out to perform from Tidewater VA to Washington D.C. We are the official recording studio of Johnny 3 Legs.
