TOMMY KESSLER on SoundBetter

I play guitar in the band Blondie. I also make noise with Blue Man Group. When not on stage, I spend my time in my studio as a producer, mixer, engineer, song-writer and session musician. I've played on many high profile commercials/jingles. Whatever your song needs, I can deliver it on every level.

I can record electric and acoustic guitars over any style of music. In addition to guitar, I am capable with most stringed instruments including Banjo, Mandolin, Lap Steel and Bass. I have played on recordings that cover many other styles of world music as well.

I have a good ear for being able to arrange guitar parts that work very well together in a song but can also be moved around individually to create breakdowns, intros and outros. With over 20 years experience recording music in a wide range of styles, I believe the quality of a note can sometimes be far superior to the quantity of notes.

When you contact me, we will go over the direction you'd like your song to take. In my experience, I find that being sent examples of what you are looking for can give quicker results, but it's not a necessity. Typically, I will double all parts so you can have options when mixing. I can also include a "dry" direct signal so you may have the option to re-amp in the future, if you wish.

Everything used in my recording process is professional quality, starting from my fingertips to your ears.

    I've worked with many talented people over the years and I have to say Tommy is at the top of the list. Just an overall talented dude who know everything music. From producing, engineering, mixing, songwriting etc... he's top notch! All that along with being a great human he's kept me coming back for sessions for the past 10 years! If you are looking for quality and experience, Tommy's your guy!
