About Me

The Latest:
I've been in a "new" space since October and working on records with the artists listed below. Unfortunately I'm in the process of moving yet again. I've always been a fan of the "non-traditional" studio for a long time and have enjoyed working like that. the current space was no exception but the drawback has been more external noise than I am comfortable with. So, as we head into March I'll be working in a more traditional space (separate control room and live room)
Current Projects:
ERIC LUGOSCH -an amazing finger style guitar player.
A beautiful collection of Rev. Gary Davis arranged for solo guitar.
ED HOLSTEIN - making his first record...ever!
A Chicago folk legend with a lot of stories to tell. He's joined by Mark Dvorak and Bonnie Koloc.
SWEET HELLO- singer/songwriters Cat Edgerton and Laura Doherty.
Themes of heartbreak, loss and despair..what's not to like.
