From Bruce Kaphan's MySpace page: You may have seen my name in album credits for American Music Club, Sheryl Crow, The Black Crowes, R.E.M., John Lee Hooker, Chris Isaak, Francesco De Gregori, Love & Rockets, Red House Painters and many others.

Or perhaps you’ve seen my name in production or engineering credits on a wide variety of independent artists. Or perhaps you’ve read one of the many articles I’ve written for Recording Magazine.
