Jon Chinn Joins Central City Recording

Central City Recording announced today that former Workbook Studio co-owner and current Pretty Mighty Mighty band member Jon Chinn is joining the studio as producer and engineer. Andy Dodson, Central City president and co-owner, called it both a "merger" and "joining forces," implying that Jon would be more partner than employee.

From the press release:

While co-owner of Workbook Studio (2000-2007), Jon worked closely with hundreds of bands and songwriters to fulfill their individual goals and move to the next level of their careers. Jon's involvement in projects ranges from writing and co-writing, to multi-instrumentalist studio musician, to straight-up engineer. His personal work includes alternative and pop rock full-length records, soundtrack music for television and film, and writing and recording for commercial applications.

A few client list highlights include Top 40 darlings Saving Jane, McGraw-Hill, VHI, A&E, MTV, HGTV, hip-hop/indie-rock producer RJD2, Warner Brothers recording artists The Sun, and punk rock pioneers The New Bomb Turks. Jon has also worked with renowned producers such as Tony Berg (Peter Gabriel), J.Robbins (Jawbox, Clutch) and Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Blur).

His live sound experience includes mixing shows in every major city in North America, working venues of all sizes, ranging from coffee houses to baseball stadiums to internet, radio and television shows such as Regis & Kelly.
