Jim Watts:

Born in New Orleans and growing up in Texas, Jim Watts began playing guitar at the age of ten. Looking for some way to make a living in the world of music, he took up audio engineering. While studying Audio Production at the University of Texas, he began working as studio manager and chief engineer at Lone Star Studio in Austin, recording jingles and radio spots during the day and blues albums at night. After several years, Jim went solo, working as a freelance engineer in Austin. After a brief time at Dockside Recording in Lafayette, LA where he worked on five albums including B.B. King's Blues On The Bayou, Jim returned to the city of his birth. While in New Orleans he engineered sessions at Kingsway Studio and recorded six albums with producer Malcolm Burn including Emmylou Harris' Grammy winning album Red Dirt Girl. In 2002, Jim moved to Los Angeles. In LA, Jim worked for pop producer Rhett Lawrence, including work on Kelly Clarkson's multi-platinum debut album Thankful before returning to independent production. Since then Jim has worked with a diverse roster of artists including Jenny Lewis, O-Town, The String Cheese Incident, Kristen Hersh's heavy rocking 50 Foot Wave, LA indie darlings The 88 and Joshua Tree's Gram Rabbit.

Ethan Allen:

Ethan Allen began his story in the Austin, Texas music scene, playing in bands and writing songs. Around the same time, he learned the craft of music recording by moonlighting as an assistant engineer at Lone Star Recording and at Willie Nelson’s two sister studios Arlyn and Perdenales. In 1995, Ethan answered an invitation to work at Kingsway, a residential studio located in the French Quarter of New Orleans owned by world renowned producer Daniel Lanois. Over the following six years, he ascended the ranks to become house engineer, working on over fifty major label and independent productions with artists like Tricky, Luscious Jackson, and Patty Griffin. Ethan left Kingsway in 2000 to pursue an independent career producing and mixing a variety of artists such as Gram Rabbit, The 88, The Pleasure Club, Wan Santo Condo, and Better than Ezra. He now lives and works in Silverlake, California where he has his own studio.
