Tape Op Magazine.
I had big goals when I started in ‘06, and one was to be in Tape Op, THE creative recording and production magazine. It’s not an easy publication to get into, and I assumed that since I operate by my own quirky rules, it would be unlikely. Well, it was because of that uniqueness that they reached out, having heard my work. It’s been a journey of discovery ever since, with an amazing team now beside me. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew what I liked, and how I wanted things to sound. I knew how to put it all together sonically, even with the limitations gear-wise. How this guitar should sound and be played, and where it should go, how the drums should be played, and where they should go, etc. I stumbled into the “producer” thing, a term now overused in today's TikTok universe, but be that as it may. My life changed when issue #92 hit the stands, because it meant that this was, somehow, what I was meant to do, and that I no longer had to sell myself. My BIGGEST goal was, and still is, to show my daughter that with tenacity and a lot of hard work, you can achieve anything. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. I have this memory of sitting in a friends studio in Woodstock NY in 2004, a stack of Tape Op mags by the console. As I flipped through the pages, I thought, yeah, I can do this. That friend, a legendary musician/producer told me that I couldn’t do it, and that I lacked knowledge and the tools. He wasn’t wrong, but if I listened to him then, I wouldn’t be doing it now. We’re still friends, and I enjoyed putting it in his face lol. You must find what makes you unique, and unlearn the rules, to an extent. I’m now an occasional contributing writer for Tape Op, having written a few features. I’ve been long planning a piece on one of my heroes, producer James William Guercio (Chicago, Dennis Wilson, Beach Boys, etc) and his beloved Caribou Ranch in Nederland, Colorado, a place and town near and dear to me…Last pic at AES Convention with Tape Op Crew and their DF shirts!

At it for the next three days with Western MA based artist DT Jacobs. I took this glamour shot of our Telefunken U48 while doing background vocals, because It looked so pretty in this light.

2026 New England Music Awards nom for “Producer of the Year”, shucks y’all!
I’ve been nominated in this category five times over the years, but have yet to “win”, even though it’s never had an impact on me or my work either way. These things are nothing more than pure fun, though It’s nice to know the work is recognized by whoever makes these decisions. So thank you! A vote for me is also a vote for my team at Dirt Floor.
Congrats to the following artists and bands who’ve worked with us at Dirt Floor, and some that just get my vote for being undeniably awesome...
Solgyres, Deer Tick, 92 Winona, The Wolff Sisters, Carlin Tripp, Bryan Titus, Ward Hayden, One Time Weekend, Bronze Radio Return, Autumn Hollow and Bow Thayer...
Vote at the link in bio, if not for me, then for whoever you think is most deserving.
Thanks,

Great week in the studio, with lots of keyboard overdub action. Continued work with Jeff Tuohy, on his new record. Thanks to Ben Stivers (Lyle Lovett and His Large Band) for bringing those tasty chops! Oliver was everywhere too, as you can see🐶 taken in Connecticut by @dirtfloorrecordingstudio
