Producer

I believe in songs. I care deeply about records. They’re portals. They’re oracles.

I’ve produced many albums over the last 20 years. I bring keen ears and a collaborative spirit to every project. I work at the wild edges of roots, world and indie-pop music. In addition to making records for other artists, I produced and curated 400+ songs for the Facebook Sound Collection. I’ve had the honor of working in the studio with Margaret Glaspy, Julian Lage, Tim O’Brien, Dom Flemons, Ron Miles, Bassekou Kouyate, Arooj Aftab, Casey Driessen and many others.

Production is about elevating and actualizing your creative vision. It is about sustaining that vision through innumerable decisions—from developing a sonic language to choosing microphones; editing takes to capturing the deeper emotional undercurrents in the music. I’m often creatively involved in every aspect of a project—co-writing, arranging, recording, editing, mixing, art direction. My home studio is in Longmont, Colorado and I travel regularly to studios in Brooklyn, Toronto or wherever the magic needs to happen. Please reach out for a free consult about your next project.

What folks are saying

What folks are saying

“Jayme Stone is not a human being, he’s a laser beam. A pure, focused stream of creativity, positivity, and productivity. Do not let the fact that he plays banjo dissuade you, he’s the real deal. Hell of a cook too.”

Kyle JamesHauser

“Working with Jayme is beyond comforting. The caliber and professionalism of the work he produces sets the tone for a truly collaborative and personalized journey in recording. From our first brainstorm to the day my EP was fully released, Jayme helped me curate and carry out a vision I had for my debut project that I couldn’t possibly have made real without him.”

Hanna DoreenBrown

“I’ve worked with Jayme in his many different capacities as a producer, bandleader and collaborator. He has such a unique aesthetic sense and far-reaching vision. He knows how to play to everyone’s strengths in any musical situation. He has that rare knack for keeping his eye on the big goal—whether it’s making a record, a setlist, or writing a tune while he attentively digs into the mechanics of keeping the process moving forward. He always has a take that nobody else can see. Jayme’s always professional and a real joy to work with.”

GrantGordy

“Besides bringing great musical expertise and sensitivity to the project, Jayme created a wonderful collaborative “family” community during the creation. This brought things together in a way that was musically beautiful and creative, but also very personal. This changes a recording at a very deep level. Jayme’s a consummate and talented professional with a good heart and kind spirit.”

CarrieNewcomer

“Working with Jayme as a producer felt like a natural extension of the collaboration in Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards. He was good at harnessing our creative ideas and also adding fresh energy to the mix. Communication was easy. He’s organized and thorough which meant I could relax into being free and whimsical.”

LauraCortese

“Jayme is a consummate professional and a brilliant producer. He has a bright, passionate energy that’s inspiring and motivating, matched with effortless technical skill and meticulous attention to detail. His virtuosic understanding of music pervades the entire process. Working with him was a treat.”
