Michigan Music History Podcast -- MMHP989

Musician, Producer, Engineer, Fan--Andy Reed wears many hats in the Michigan music buffet. Known for his productions out of Reed Recording, the former Verve Pipe bassist/solo artist has pushed the boundaries of creativeness in all areas of performance. Based in Bay City, Reed is a first-call Nashville unit for artists to travel when Music City needs a hand. Having put out his own brilliant albums for years with Legal Matters and An American Underdog, Reed hit the recording bug when working his first album with the Haskels down at Brendan Benson's pad, pre-Nashville move.

Reed is humble, musical, full of power pop and harmonic ideas, and can work fast in the studio. His love of Beatles and Beach Boys goes hand in hand with his '90s music upbringing.

This two-part series will paint a humble portrait, of a fun, musically excited family man, that embraces the national scene, while keeping it all on a local stage. Meet Andy, Part 1 of 2--NOW!
