082: LIJ SHAW/Producer/podcast host/Recording Studio Rockstars, Aimee Mann, Ben Harper, Ani DiFranco

It's always a pleasure to have the opportunity to interview someone on the show that I consider a mentor, and our current guest, Lij Shaw, definitely fits the bill. As the host of the highly successful podcast Recording Studio Rockstars, Lij provides his guests with a peek behind the curtain and into the minds of some of the most successful record producers and engineers working today. In addition to Recording Studio Rockstars, Lij owns the Toy Box recording Studio in Nashville, TN., a Grammy certified studio, which now houses one of the most famous MCI consoles from Criteria Studios in Miami, built by hand from it's founder, Jeep Harned. Here's a small list of the artists Lij has worked with during his long career: Aimee Mann, Ben Harper, Audley Freed, Blues Traveler, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Dawes, Citizen Cope, and Band of Horses.
