Ethan Allen – Producer/Engineer

Ethan Allen began his musical career playing in bands and writing songs in Austin, Texas. It was also there that he began learning to record, working first at a small jingle studio, and later at Arlyn and Pedernales, Willie Nelson’s two studios and at the time the largest studios in town. In 1995, Ethan accepted an invitation to come and work at Kingsway, producer Daniel Lanois’ recording studio located in the French Quarter of New Orleans. While there, he eventually became house engineer and worked on many major label and independent records with a wide variety of artists, producers, engineers, and musical styles. In 2000, Ethan left that position to become a freelance engineer and producer, and also helped to found the Truck Farm Studio in the upper ninth ward of New Orleans. In 2003, he moved to Los Angeles where he now lives and has a studio in Silverlake. Some of his credits include albums from Better Than Ezra, Throwing Muses, Luscious Jackson, Tricky, Ani DiFranco, Galactic, Patty Griffin, and Melissa Ferrick. His most recent credits include The Forward, The 88, and Gram Rabbit.
