And his name is Sean Sullivan.

Sean's engineering and production skills are credited on many important Roots music albums of the past decade, including two Molly Tuttle Grammy Award winners, music by the Del McCurry Band and the Travelin' McCurries, plus Tyler Childers, the Steel Drivers, Michael Cleveland, Andrew Marlin, and more.
