KRAMER BECOMES NEW PRODUCER IN RESIDENCE AT CITIZEN STUDIOS
- November 25, 2024 -
Citizen Studios is thrilled to welcome composer, musician, filmmaker, and multi-instrumentalist Kramer as our newest producer in residence. Kramer is the founder of the label Shimmy-Disc. In the 1980s & 90s, he produced hundreds of recordings at his Noise New York and Noise New Jersey studios. As a producer, he helped to create seminal recordings for artists as diverse as Daniel Johnston, Galaxie 500, Half Japanese, Pussy Galore, Urge Overkill, Will Oldham, and LOW, to name but a small few. He lives and works in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
Kramer will be performing with Squanderers (with composer, guitarist, pianist, and vocalist David Grubbs; and guitarist Wendy Eisenberg) at Big Ears Festival. Around that time, Kramer will work on a new project with his Squanders collaborators at Citizen Studios. Check out their album HERE.
Meet Kramer at an upcoming benefit for mental health awareness. Shimmy-Disc presents a Celebration of the Life & Songs of DANIEL JOHNSTON on January 22 at Citizen Vinyl. Doors at 7 p.m., music at 8 p.m. $20 tickets or pay what you can at the door.
