Essential Event: Spend An Evening with Producer/Engineer Glyn Johns — 11/14 in NYC, 11/16 in LA
“Glyn Johns was there.” – Sir Paul McCartney
All along, Glyn Johns has been contemplating this book tour.
That only begins to tell the story of how important this engineer’s engineer is to recorded music. Imagine if your audio resume included The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Eric Clapton. What if you could play potential clients Abbey Road, Led Zeppelin, “My Generation,” and “Sympathy for the Devil” as examples of your work?
That’s all true for Glyn Johns, who’s just published the massively important memoir, “SOUND MAN: A Life Recording Hits with The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, The Faces…(Blue Rider Press). Pick up a copy, and prepare for an extremely engaging, personable personal tour from the master himself. In SOUND MAN, Johns doesn’t just take you inside the studio for some of the greatest records of all time, he also takes you inside his head – an incredibly informative place, often with no holds barred.
If you want to sit in the same room with the man who not only ran cables for the Beatles’ famed rooftop concert, but SUGGESTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, now’s your chance: Glyn Johns will be appearing tonight, Friday November 14th, at BookCourt, 163 Court Street in Brooklyn, at 7:00 PM. Upping the ante, he’ll be in conversation with Ben Bridwell, the singer and founding member of Band of Horses. FREE to attend, but we strongly suggest arriving early.
Those on the West Coast can join Johns at High Fidelity LA, 1956 Hillhurst Avenue, at 7:30 PM on Sunday, November 16th. Johns will be the special guest on the “Live From High Fidelity Podcast”, and signing books via Skylight Books afterwards. Again, it’s FREE, with early attendance encouraged to snag a seat.
Johns will also be appearing in Cleveland on Saturday, November 15th at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and wraps up his tour Tuesday, November 18 in Nashville at Salon@615, at 6:15pm.
