Tracey Freeman - Grammy Award-Winning New Orleans Music Producer

This week on the Only Good Vibes News Network, Whistle Monsta and Jamie Bernstein welcome one of New Orleans’ most respected sonic architects, Grammy Award–winning producer and engineer Tracey Freeman. From his early days working sound at Jesuit High School to touring with Harry Connick Jr., Tracey has shaped the sound of countless NOLA legends, including Kermit Ruffins, Rebirth Brass Band, Leroy Jones, Ivan Neville, and more. In this deep and soulful conversation, Tracey shares how balance, joy, and humility have guided his decades-long career behind the board. He opens up about recording on the road, surviving the transition from analog to digital, and keeping the spirit of New Orleans music alive in a changing world. The crew also gets candid about pandemic creativity, mentorship in modern production, and unforgettable sessions from The Jungle Book soundtrack with Bill Murray to Harry Connick’s unreleased solo projects. It’s an inside look at the craft, discipline, and magic that power the Crescent City’s sound, told by the man who’s mixed it all.
