In Reverb by Adam Leech, JD Feighner is mentioned for his production work on Tango Red Tapestry’s debut disc, The Window EP.

“We tried for over seven months to record it ourselves,” says lead singer/songwriter Eastin, “but what we did just wasn’t working, so we ended up recording it at 1620 Studios with JD Feighner.” And the extra production seems to have paid off, as The Window glistens like a strand of finely polished indie rock pearls. Grab a copy at the show for just $5 or check out some of the songs at myspace.com/tangoredtapestry.

An Interview with JD Feighner

admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:30:07 +0000

1. Other artists you have worked with?
I’ve recorded over 300 songs and 10 albums with other artists including a piece with Lajon Witherspoon from Sevendust on a Henry Rollins tribute album as well as worked with Igloo & Hartley.
2. Favorite Artists
Jamiroquai and Dave Matthews
3. How long have you been in the game?
I’m a third generation musician, I have been producing for 9 years now, singing and songwriting for 5 years..
4. Favorite Quote or Saying
My favorite toast is ‘here’s to a long life and a happy one, a quick death and a painless one, a pretty girl and a true one, and a cold beer and another one’
5. Favorite color and why…
Really? Do I have to answer this? Blue. Because it makes my eyes more blue
6. You keep your motivation by?
Biggest challenge – a lot of work and not a lot in return off the bat. Having my music heard. Getting feedback from fans. Recognition for my work.
7. Biggest accomplishment(s)?
Putting out the album ‘Sundays at 1620′, finishing it and being happy with it.
8. Funniest moment on stage?
Me in a huge fro singing Michael Jackson’s Thriller…fans said it was awesome, but to some it may have been funny.
9. How do you keep your skills up to par?
I’m always working on a new song, picking music apart, analyzing songs, running scales and vocalizing, and writing songs.
10. Biggest obstacle faced thus far?
Making the album ‘Sundays at 1620′ was an obstacle in between producing songs, EPs, and albums for clients. Writing lyrics can be challenging and the biggest obstacle is of course getting people to listen to the album and promotions. That’s why I hired a manager / promoter.
11. Upcoming project(s)?
I have two new songs nearing completion: “By a Thread” is a dark, pathetic cry-out for help. The style is lounge / jazz mix with rock n roll song. “On my own” is a rock song about breaking up with a girl b/c it’s too hard to be on tour.
12. Words of Wisdom
Have patience and strive for perfection.
13. Worst habit?
I’m late for everything.
14. Best attribute?
I put others first.
15. What do you value the most?
The way music can make me feel when I listen to it. I can be having a bad day and I get lost in music and the bad day is gone.
16. What makes the band unique?
What happened to the days where a band doesn’t have to be totally unique or have a gimmick? What about the bands that are good, that entertain, that have a solid sound and please listeners?
17. What is your competitive advantage?
I’d like to believe that my song writing is true talent and the diversity in my music is unique.
18. Do you think the Indie artist will ever get mainstream acceptance?
They already have in a lot of ways, but that is what makes an indie artist an indie artist by not being mainstream… Take for example, Copeland, Bright Eyes, Distilled Canvas, Honorary Title, The Floormats, and indie rock or grunge bands.
19. What do you want to be most remembered for?
Well, first being a good and caring person, then musically: writing and making great songs.
