Update #5: "King of Treme" Shannon Powell says he'll play on this.

Posted on May 22, 2009

Just talked to Shannon. He said he's on the road a lot the next couple of months, but he's down to come play on this during one of his stop-offs back in town. For more info on Shannon, check out this interview he did w/ Offbeat that covered his record, Powell's Place, that I engineered:

      dude, if there was a fantasy football equivalent for new orleans musicians, all these cats would have been on my top 10 draft picks. although billy delle isnt technically a musician, wouldnt it be great if you got him to do an intro/outro sort of stuff? were you behind "lord, lord, lord"? that would totally make sense...

      Yeah, I recorded "Lord, Lord, Lord" for Shannon. Man, that was fun. Gotta give Ben Jaffe credit for the concept on that one. He's really the one that finessed it into being what it is.

I sculpt data that scrambles electrons that excite magnets that move speakers that ripple the air that tickles your eardrum that tantalizes your brain that shakes your bum. Simply put, I'm a music producer and recording engineer. I do a lot of work with some of New Orleans' favorite acts, including Preservation Hall & the New Orleans Bingo! show.

Among the more famous artists I've recorded are Tom Waits, Pete Seeger, Del McCoury, Lenny Kravitz, Jim James, Paolo Nutini, Mos Def, and Buddy Miller. I've also done independent recordings for local greats like Shannon Powell, Tom McDermott, Luke Winslow-King, Meschiya Lake, & Kristin Diable.

In addition to my studio engineering, I produce and perform electronic music as The Madd Wikkid, and have been known to play piano/keyboards around New Orleans and Japan. I also sometimes tour as a live sound engineer.
