France awaits my arrival... !
7 days at La Fabrique in St-Rémy de Provence starting June 18th with Tchad Blake.



TCHAD BLAKE is an American record producer, audio engineer, mixer and musician.


    He has worked with numerous artists and musicians, including State Radio, Elvis Costello, Peter Gabriel, Pearl Jam, Tom Waits, Brazilian Girls, Sheryl Crow, Travis, Marike Jager, Crowded House, Finn Brothers, The Pretenders, Bernard Fanning, Los Lobos, The Bad Plus, Suzanne Vega, Al Green, Tracy Chapman, The Dandy Warhols and The Black Keys, among others.

          BLAKE often partners with Mitchell Froom, with whom David Hidalgo and Louie Pérez of Los Lobos formed Latin Playboys. He is noted for creating original and at times awkward sonic textures, constantly shifting mixes, and use of binaural recording.

         In 2011, his work on The Black Keys album, Bothers, has been rewarded with the Grammy for Best Alternative Record. In 2008 he landed the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, for his work on Suzanne Vega's Beauty and Crime. He won his first Grammy in 1999 for The Globe Sessions by Sheryl Crow.
